Dispute pertains to APURTANANT land. The remedy is in the sale deed. The rights of the buyers are determined by the terms of agreement. Here seller and disputant are housing board. Confront the seller with the terms of sale deed.

- As per rule, when you buy a flat, then you are technically buying two things i.e. the first thing is the constructed part of the building where being owner, you will actually reside, while the second is a proportionate share of the land on which the property is built, and this share of land allotted to the you/flat owner is known as an undivided land share or UDS.

- Further, the value of any property is the increased, due to increase in the land rate and not the constructed area, and hence it is the UDS that determines the future monetary value of the property. 

- Further, if the apartment in which you are going to purchase is demolished for reconstruction , then the flat owner will depend on the percentage of the undivided land share in the property.

- Hence, the sum of the UDS for each flat owner must be proportionate to the area of the land in which the apartment has been constructed.

- The UDS already mentioned in all the registered documents and also with the society as well. 

-  Hence, each owner will get 112.5 sq. yard .

You may have to initiate legal action as per the recitals found in your registered sale deed.

If you confirm that your registered sale deed contains that you are entitled to 112 Sq. yards  then you can go ahead with the planned re-development of your old building as per the contents of the sale deed.

Let the housing board raise an objection to this, after which you can approach civil court with a suit for declaration to declare that the land appurtenant to the building belongs to all the four owners of the complex by a decree and judgment.

The UDS allotted to each flat owner has been mentioned in their respective registered sale deed.

Therefore the seller can sell the flat along with his share of UDS in the apartment complex

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

Firstly, you need to confirm from the Municipality Corporation that what plan was sanctioned by them at the time of the construction to understand your share in a clearer manner.

It is also added to your knowledge that the undivided share of land would be as per registered sale deed. In the present case,  it would be 112 square yards as mentioned in schedule to sale deed for each flat owner.

The lands appurtenant to is that land which is necessary for enjoyment of the building. If your agreement states that the land appurtenant shall be considered as a part of all the residents enjoyment, it must be divided among all
