Recently, five homebuyers from Navi Mumbai, India lost their stilt parking spaces as it was allotted to them by the builder after their housing society was already registered. The dispute had initially started as this housing society wanted to put the parking spaces on rent but it was already being used by these homebuyers. With this dispute the aggrieved homebuyers went to court.
Justice Smt. S. Neelkanth of the Maharashtra State Co-operative Appellate Court, Mumbai, after hearing the aggrieved homebuyer's case ruled in favour of the housing society and said the flat buyers cannot claim exclusive rights over the stilt parking slots just because the builder had issued them letters of allotment. Once a housing society is registered, the parking spaces come under the society's control.
