GURUGRAM: Residents of Saraswati Vihar have secured a keep order from the Gurgaon civil court docket at the proposed e-auctioning of a 553.67-square yard plot within the society for residential function through the state housing board.
The residents claimed that the plot was once earmarked for a park and the housing board had already encroached upon it as well as other open areas within the society. As in keeping with laws, a township must have 45% open area.
On February 1, the housing board had issued a notification to public sale the plot at a reserved price of Rs 5.5 crore for residential function. The bidding were scheduled for February 21. But Gurgaon Citizens’ Council (GCC) filed a petition in court docket, in search of a keep at the proposed public sale. On Monday, the court docket issued an order, “restraining” the housing board from auctioning the plot.
According to residents, the colony was once evolved as in keeping with Haryana Housing Board Act, 1971, and authorized through the director of the city and nation planning division. Currently, over 25,000 residents are living in nearly three,500 properties within the colony.
R S Rathee, GCC president and councillor of ward 34, mentioned in 1988, the government decided to observe norms and requirements prescribed beneath the urban areas Act. He mentioned, “Normally, 55% of the realm of any authorized colony can be used for residential functions and 45% needs to be saved for group amenities, including roads, side road lighting fixtures, parks and other utility services. But in this colony, more than 75% of the land has been already used for housing functions.”
According to residents, the plan to public sale the plot is technically unlawful and against the urban areas Act.
“This house had to be utilised for a park or other group amenities beneath the 1988 norms,” mentioned Gaurav Singla, a resident.
“Already, more than 75% of the society is getting used for housing functions and group amenities are lacking. Basically, all major infrastructure avid gamers got their licences all through 1981–87. Till then, there were no outlined norm for group amenities. It was once handiest in 1988 that the government made provisions for a similar. While private avid gamers observe these norms, it's ironic that a central authority body isn’t doing so. We don’t actually have a group centre here,” he added.
The colony RWA had also written to the chief administrator of the housing board in Panchkula earlier this month to check in their protest against the proposed public sale.
