Advocate ML Lahouti, appearing for the home buyers of Amrapali Housing Projects, cited the quality issues reported in Amrapali projects before a bench of Justices UU Lalit and Bela M Trivedi as major structural flaws in NBCC’s Green View Society. It has more than 650 housing units. Lahouti has urged the apex court to take cognizance of the matter.
It may be noted that NBCC is the Project Management Consultant for Amrapali Projects and it is responsible for the quality and timely completion of work. The bench said that many residents are facing problems with the quality of work done by the contractors as well as the projects completed under the supervision of NBCC. The bench has asked senior advocate R Venkataramani, the court receiver, to look into the details. Also said that NBCC should also investigate the matter.
Senior advocate Siddharth Dave, representing NBCC, informed the top court that his client has appointed two external agencies – NIT Nagpur and IMT Jalandhar – to probe the quality issues. He assured that the construction done by NBCC in Amrapali housing projects is of good quality.
Kumar Mihir, counsel for some Amrapali home buyers, said structural security is a big issue for home buyers and the latest news about NBCC Green View has caused serious concern among them. “Thankfully, the Supreme Court takes note of this and the external agencies appointed by NBCC will submit their report on the structural strength of all the buildings, then suitable measures will be taken by NBCC under the guidance of the apex court,” he said.
Earlier this month, a building partially collapsed in Gurugram’s Chintels Paradiso, killing two people. And a few days after the incident, the NBCC Green View Society located in Sector-37-D was declared unsafe for the residents. On February 17, the Deputy Commissioner directed the residents of NBCC Green View to vacate the house by March 1. The officials have directed NBCC to provide alternate accommodation to the residents till the completion of the repair work.
Banks funding for Amrapali project from March 15
- The Supreme Court on Monday asked banks to start funding by March 15 to complete the unfinished projects of Amrapali. On the other hand, the counsel appearing for the flat buyers said that Rs 300 crore needs to be released at the earliest so that the work of the projects does not stop.
- During the hearing, the court receiver told a bench headed by Justice UU Lalit that the bank has agreed in-principle for funding but funding has not started yet. This is causing problems in the project. Several rounds of talks have been held with the consortium of banks. The proposals of banks should be finalized in a week and funds should be released by the next week i.e. March 15.
