The lure of owning a house has made many innocent lives
tragic as they do not verify the credentials of the promoters, builders and areoften 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 Nyayak. Further details of village, district, where the said Survey No.
located were not clear. The consumer Forum found the firm Sri Sairaghava
Buildrs & 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 comprehensive
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 percentof Bangaloreans believe that things have improved," he said. The average
property tax collection has gone up from Rs. 36.1crore in 1991- 92 to Rs. 195
crore in 2002-03.
