Dear Client,

If agreement executed by all members than suit shall be filed by all/on behalf of all members.

You have to file suit of specific performance, not much court fees but advocate fees suit is barred by limitation as time line was 2014.

Issue legal notice to builder to update current status and copies of permission if any obtained from govt. dept.

Suit valid through POA.

This is my response to you:

1. Firstly the reconstruction and the date of possession will be mentioned in the Re-development agreement;

2. If the builder has violated the terms of that agreement then file a petition in the high court;

3. Cheating by builder is not only a civil case, but also a criminal offence as held by Justice Kathawalla of BHC;

4. So consult a local lawyer and take legal steps.

any tenant can file slaw suit

2) court fees depend upon reliefs claimed

3)it is better society files suit

4) seek rent for last 4 years from builder

5)file RTI application with BMC as to whether plans sanctioned or not

6) POA can be executed in favour of adult children by the parents

Hi,

As per your input, you may initiate suit of specific performance against builder. The court fee will be according to value of the suit. The elders can issue special power of attorney in favor of you6 members of family for participating in court proceedings.

Dear Sir,

My answers are as follows:

# our society has 20 members, is there a majority required for filing a lawsuit

Ans: Under order 1 Rule 8 you can file suit in Representative capacity and interested members will join the proceedings.

# what are the commercials involved for filing the lawsuit court fee and other official charges (excluding lawyer fee)

Ans: It depends upon Market value of the building and the fee of the advocate is equivalent to court fee paid by you, normally but if you engage high profile advocate you have to pay more fees.

#first we need to get 4 years balance rent paid by the builder to all the 20 members

Ans: That issue must be put before 20 members and they will be induced to join as parties to the suit. But under law you can claim only for 3 years arrears that too on payment of court fees on such claim amount.

#want the builder to initiate reconstruction for the mentioned property (or do we have any other option to proceed further)

Ans: Issue a legal notice to cancel the agreement if he do not complete the project within a specified period and also claim compensation for delay.

#how do I know the current status of the all the required permission are in place or not or what is pending for redevelopment of property.

Ans: You may approach concerned offices and try to get whether any licence for taken for redevelopment of your property.

#all the members of the society are old can their children (all adults) can take a power of attorney for carrying out the court proceedings

Ans: Yes, they can.

Kisi or redevelopment agreement with the Builder and on the basis of the contract if it is not completed and priest you have the liberty to go to the High Court against the Builder even one person is enough to file the petition as you are 28 number it is good enough to file the petition against the Builder for the breach of contract and compensation

1. A resolution has to be passes for the same

2. A nominal court fee will have to be paid, get in touch with a local lawyer to know the exact amount

3. File RTI and get the required permissions

4. Yes the children can appear through the POA, but the members will have to attend the court at the time of statement recording

Regards

If you aggrieved by the acts of the builder you can initiate legal action against him as per law.

If others are also affected similarly, then they can join you and seek the common relief.

The court fee and the lawyer's fee may be enquired from the lawyer you may propose to engage.

This would be one of the reliefs, hence you first issue a legal notice demanding the same from the builder before initiating any law suit against him.

For reconstruction only you people have handed over the property, so you can demand the same in the legal notice.

You may have to enquire the same from your own sources.

Yes, the power of attorney agents can fight on behalf of their principals.
