The Bombay High Court has established guidelines for the proportionate division of land in redevelopment projects with multiple buildings to protect the title rights of flat owners.
Reader brief
Through the Reader lens: The Bombay High Court has introduced new guidelines for deemed conveyance in housing projects with multiple buildings to resolve disputes over land entitlement. The court ruled that land must be divided proportionately among cooperative housing societies and that developer revisions to building plans cannot unilaterally reduce a society's entitlement without consent. These measures aim to curb developer practices that exploit development potential and impede the transfer of land rights to residents as required by law.
What to watch next
- Implementation of the four-month timeline for land entitlement crystallization.
- Impact on future redevelopment projects regarding the use of Transferable Development Rights.
- Potential legislative or regulatory adjustments to formalize these judicial guidelines.
