The Santacruz police have recently filed a new case of alleged cheating against Ahuja Developers, including its directors and Chinese partners. The complaint alleges that the developers failed to register the agreement and unlawfully sold the booked flat to a third party, causing a financial loss of Rs 1.33 crore to the flat buyer. This development raises questions about the practices of Ahuja Developers and the potential legal repercussions for their actions.
The individuals facing charges in this case include Jagdish Ahuja, Gautam Ahuja, Chandras Kotian, and Ashok Gacheria, along with officials from the Chinese companies Jia Vei, Liyank Shaung, Ya Wang, as well as entities Snehanjali SB Developers and Hive Carbon Zero Developers Private Limited. These key players are at the center of the legal proceedings initiated by the Santacruz police, highlighting potential complications and legal consequences for Ahuja Developers and its associates.
Back in January, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai police apprehended Jagdish Ahuja in connection with a Rs 27-crore cheating case. The allegations stemmed from flat buyers claiming that the Ahujas failed to deliver the promised flat. This development adds another layer to the legal troubles surrounding Ahuja Developers, and as the case unfolds, it raises significant concerns about the company's practices.
The recent case involves a complaint filed by Prashant Bhat, a senior official at Sony Pictures. Bhat alleges that in 2014, his father, Mahendra Bhat, booked a flat in O2, a forthcoming project in Sion-Chunabhatti by Snehanjali and SB Developers. The grievance centers on the failure to register the agreement and the subsequent sale of the booked flat to a third party, resulting in a financial loss of Rs 1.33 crore. This legal entanglement adds to the mounting concerns around Ahuja Developers and underscores the need for vigilance in real estate transactions.
Prashant highlighted that his father paid Rs 1.09 crore to the developer, SB Developers, with the expectation of receiving a flat on the 11th floor according to the sale agreement. The commitment outlined in the MahaRERA agreement indicated that the project would be completed by 2017. However, as of 2019, the project remained unfinished, raising concerns about compliance with MahaRERA regulations. This case underscores the importance of adherence to agreed timelines and regulatory standards in real estate transactions.
An allotment letter in Mahendra Bhat's name was issued, but following his demise in 2018, the builder informed Prashant Bhat that a different flat on the same floor was being allotted, requiring an additional payment of Rs 4.05 lakh. Subsequently, the project transitioned to the control of a Chinese company. After Mahendra Bhat's passing, Prashant initiated communication with the builder. Shockingly, in 2019, upon inquiry, Prashant discovered that the originally booked flat was already sold to Ram Gupta. This revelation raises serious questions about transparency, contractual obligations, and potential irregularities in the project's management. Stay tuned for more updates as the story unfolds.
