The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRERA) ordered the National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) to pay a rent of Rs 30,000 to the allottees of the Green View Society in Sector 37D.
The decision came after two allottees, Saurabh Mehta and Jai Prakash Mehta, had filed a complaint with the regulatory body following structural audits conducted by IIT-Roorkee and the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI) found the Green View Society project ‘unsafe’ for living. The residents were asked to vacate their flats by March 2022.
“Respondents to pay amounts of compensation described above within one month of this order; otherwise, they will be liable to pay the amount with interest at 10.5 percent per annum till realization of the amount,” said the order issued by the Rera court.When TOI contacted NBCC officials, they did not comment on the matter.
Earlier this year, the district administration had denied NBCC permission to demolish the society, citing ongoing legal disputes and pending compensation claims, particularly from Economically Weaker Section (EWS) allottees. EWS flat owners had approached the Delhi High Court, objecting to the demolition and alleging that NBCC did not settle their compensation claims.
During a Samadhan camp organized by the district administration, EWS allottees reiterated their concerns about unresolved compensation and sought clarity on their claims. The district town planning enforcement (DTPE) informed NBCC that further demolition proceedings could only take place with permission from the Delhi High Court. DTPE also urged the deputy commissioner to issue guidelines enabling EWS allottees to register their flats and secure their claims against NBCC.
NBCC, in its defence, highlighted structural dangers posed by the seven towers and requested urgent approval for demolition. The developer cited a 2022 order from the district magistrate and DDMA, which underscored risks to life and property.
