Bombay HC rejects homebuyer demand after builder sold refuge areas as residential flats

Occupancy Certificate plan showed flats where none exist

A Ghatkopar East homebuyer who bought five apartments in Bhandup discovered the builder had sold refuge (vacant) areas as residential flats. The High Court found the occupancy certificate plan contained an error showing those spaces as flats on specific floors, yet still denied the buyer society membership, leaving the dispute unresolved for him.
