Urban areas me illegal constructions common problem hain – extra floors, unauthorised extensions, setback violations, balcony enclosures, etc. Jab authorities strict drive chalati hain, homeowners ko demolition notices mil sakte hain.
Aise notice ke against rights typically include:
- Copy of notice with clear reasons,
- Reasonable time to respond or show cause,
- Chance to produce building permissions, sanctioned plans, or regularisation applications,
- Hearing opportunity before final order.
Agar structure genuinely sanctioned ho, ya minor deviation ho jiska compounding/regularisation rule me provision hai, to demolition avoid ya penalty ke sath legalise karna possible hota hai. But purely illegal floors ya dangerous structures usually save karna mushkil hote hain.
Builder-buyer situations me extra tension hota hai – flat owner ne toh approved project samjha, illegal portion baad me nikal aayi. Yaha builder ke khilaf civil + criminal actions possible hote hain, lekin immediate risk occupant ko hi face karna padta hai.
Takeaway: purchase se pehle approvals verify karo; “sab log aise hi banate hain” wali logic pe illegal construction mat karao. Jab notice aaye, ignore mat karo – quick legal response hi best defence hai.
