The lure of
owning a house has made many innocent lives tragic as they do not verify the
credentials ofthe promoters, builders and are often carried away by glossy
advertisements.
Smt.
Yeshawant Nayak responded to an advertisement of Mis Srisairaghava builders and
Developers. They had advertised about forming sites at Raghavendra Nagar in
Anekal Taluk. Ms Nayak paid Rs.52,3001/- for the site. With fond hope of finding
her site in a well developed layout, she visited the area and was shell shocked
to find the entire area was under cultivation and she was unable to locate the
site which she had bought.
She made
enquiries with the villagers and with the panchayats office and learnt that
there is no proposal of such a layout. Promptly she served a legal notice to
use toilets envisaged in the City the firm. The firm did offer her an
alternative site which was not accepted by Ms Nayak.
She
complained to IV Additional Consumer Disputes redressal forum, Bangaloe Urban
District. The Forum found that the copies of sale deed produced by the firm
were not pertaining to the Survey No.36/2 given to Mrs Nayak. Further details
of village, district, where the said Survey No. located were not clear. The
consumer Forum found the firm Sri Sairaghava Builders & Developers guilty of
deficient service and ordered the firm to repay Rs.52300 to Ms Nayak with 15%
interest from 7-5-2000 till date of realization and the forum also ordered the
firm to pay Rs.2000 as costs.
Mr. Jairaj
said the BATF had not been able to accomplish certain objectives, including the
creation of a comprehensi ve geographical information system (GIS) database of
all the 100 wards which was planned at the outset but is still not available.
Similarly, there has been a lack of enforcement by civic agencies against
infringement of laws like converting residential plots for commercial use and
violation of floor area ratio.
Meanwhile,
Mr.Nilekani, who presided over the meeting to discuss replication of the BATF
model in 30 other cities I towns in State, lauded the outcome based
performance of the BATF and agencies associated with it. "Since the
setting up of the BATF, studies have shown that 94 percent of Bangaloreans
believe that things have improved" he said. The average property tax
collection has gone up from Rs.36.1crore in 1991- 1992 to Rs.195crore in
2002-2003.
