SELLING FLAT ON ILLEGAL FLOOR- BUILDERS DENIED BAIL
Two developers in Bandra have been denied bail by the Bombay High Court for allegedly cheating a woman by promising her a fifth floor flat in an under – construction building which had permission to build up to the thrid floor. The builders, Sharif Altaf Furniture and his uncle Aftab Latif, who were arrested on October 19 are in jail for past two months.
They had claimed that the case was a civil one and had offered to return the sum of Rs.50 lakhs taken from the complainant, Rubina Ansari, failed to impress the court.
Furniturewala, one of the builders was charged earlier this year along with his two brothers after Aftab Manzil Building owned by them in Mahim, crashed killing 10 persons, including mother, wife and sons of advocate Rizwan Merchants.
Mr.Rizwan Merchants, who is complainant Ansari’s lawyer in this case, argued that it was not a simple case of cheating but part of an “epidemic of illegal construction in the city.” He further argued that the builders have made an attempt to put up a building upto 7th floor without getting sanction from local authorities with an intention to earn huge profits at the cost of lives of flat purchasers.
The complainant has said Furniture and Latif had signed an agreement to sell 600 Sq.ft. flat on the 5th Floor of their under construction 7 storey concrete building in Bandra to Rubina in 2010. Out of total cost of Rs.78Lakhs they had received Rs.50 Lakhs from the complainant Rubina Ansari.
