A Noida based developer, Shivalik Homes has been booked for fraud for allegedly selling the same flat to multiple people. An FIR was lodged against the builder under Section 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal break of trust) and other relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) following an order form the Allahabad High Court.
A flat owner by the name of Poonam, along with her mother Rekha, purchased a flat in Shivalik Homes in 2019 for a sum of Rs 35 lacs. Upon purchase, the society provided them with a no dues certificate. However, shortly after moving into the flat, PNB Housing sent them a notice stating the flat belonged to Mr Jagdish Joshi who had purchased it in 2016. Mr Joshi has taken a loan from the company for the flat but had subsequently stopped paying his instalments. Therefore, the bank was notifying them of the same.
According to Ms Poonam the local policemen were uncooperative which is why she was forced to approach the Allahabad Court where she filed a petition against the builder. On account of the petition an FIR was lodged at Surajpur police station on 27th January 2023. Ms Poonam is not the only resident to have faced a similar ordeal, all of whom attempted to seek help from the police but in vain.
As a result of the FIR, society members who have up until now been paying their maintenance dues to the builder, have taken a collective decision to stop all future payments from 1st February 2023 until the builder provides each of them with an undertaking in writing saying the flat sold to them has not been sold to anybody else. Reports who first covered the story attempted to reach out to the builder several times for his comments however their requests remained unanswered.
