Important Issues in Society Redevelopment

About Book

Important Issues in Society Redevelopment by Dr. Sanjay Chaturvedi is a comprehensive legal and practical guide addressing the complexities of housing society redevelopment in India, especially in Maharashtra. The book unravels crucial legal principles, statutory obligations, and real-life court judgments that shape the redevelopment landscape.

Key topics include whether all society members must sign redevelopment agreements, the legal consequences when some refuse, and the critical role of an empowered managing committee. Dr. Chaturvedi also examines whether societies can terminate developers for project delays or breaches, and provides guidance on appointing new developers lawfully.

Intriguing legal nuances, such as separate redevelopment of individual buildings within a society, subdivision of plots, and splitting societies into two, are explored in depth. The book analyses recent landmark judgments of the Bombay High Court and Supreme Court, covering topics like the rights of shop and office owners, deemed conveyance, and the legal status of societies as “promoters” under RERA.

Through detailed sections on procedural aspects like quorum requirements, stamp duty on agreements, and the liability implications of revoking powers of attorney, this work serves as an essential resource for society members, managing committees, developers, lawyers, and real estate professionals.

By blending legal insights with practical solutions and highlighting the need for mediation and dispute resolution, Dr. Chaturvedi’s book empowers stakeholders to navigate the often tumultuous process of redevelopment confidently and lawfully.
