The Maharashtra State Co-operative Appellate Court has upheld the parking rights of two homebuyers after their housing society took away their parking space, claiming it was allocated by the builder and that they wanted to implement a new parking policy.
This situation involved Mr and Mrs Mahey from Borivali (West), who purchased a flat in Phase-1 of a housing project directly from the builder in 2009 and were allotted parking no.GO/26. However, after the housing society was formed, they decided to frame a new parking policy within a year due to the parking area being fully occupied. The Phase-1 housing society introduces a parking policy called ‘First come, First Served’ by adhering to its byelaw No.78(a) and (b).
