Amrapali home buyers on Monday raised, in the Supreme Court, quality
issues with housing projects where the National Buildings Construction
Corporation (NBCC) is the project management consultant.
Counsel
for home buyers urged the top court to take cognisance of the matter
against the backdrop of another condominium, NBCC Green View Society,
located in Sector 37-D Gurugram, which has been declared unsafe for the
residents just four years after completion.
Advocate M.L. Lahoty,
representing Amrapali housing home buyers, submitted before a bench
headed by Justice U.U. Lalit that NBCC's Green View Society, which has
over 650 housing units, has reported major structural issues, while
citing quality issues reported in Amrapali projects and urged the court
to take cognisance.
NBCC is the project management consultant
for the Amrapali projects and is responsible for the quality and timely
completion of work.
The bench, also comprising Justice Bela M.
Trivedi, noted that many residents have issues with the quality of work
done by contractors and also with projects completed under the
supervision of the NBCC.
It asked the court-appointed receiver,
senior advocate R. Venkataramani, to look into the details, and that the
NBCC should also examine the matter.
Senior advocate Siddhartha
Dave, representing NBCC, informed the top court that his client has
appointed two external agencies - NIT Nagpur and IMT Jalandhar -- to
examine the quality issues. He assured that the construction undertaken
by the NBCC in Amrapali housing projects is of good quality.
Kumar
Mihir, counsel for some Amrapali home buyers, said structural safety is
a big issue for home buyers and the latest news about NBCC Green View
has caused grave concern among them. "Thankfully, the Supreme Court has
taken note of the same and once the external agencies appointed by the
NBCC will give their report on the structural strength of all the
buildings, suitable measures will be taken by the NBCC under the
guidance of the top court to protect the interest of the home buyers,"
he added.
Earlier this month, a building partially collapsed in
Gurugram's Chintels Paradiso, which left two persons dead. And, days
after this incident, NBCC Green View Society located in Sector 37-D, was
declared unsafe for the residents. On February 17, Deputy Commissioner
Nishant Kumar Yadav directed the residents of NBCC Green View, which was
deemed unsafe, after a structural audit by IIT Delhi, to vacate the
condominium by March 1. Authorities directed NBCC to provide alternative
accommodation to the residents till they carry out the repairs.
