State sets rules for deemed conveyance ……Clara Lewis
Mumbai: The state housing department on Wednesday finally issued the notification defining rules for implementing deemed conveyance.
The notification was approved by chief minister Ashok Chavan on September 28.The delay was because a copy had to be sent to the subordinate legislative assembly committee that is overseeing the matter,said housing department officials.
Housing societies can file their application before the district deputy registrar.The first hearing should be held within a fortnight of receipt of the application.If there are discrepancies,then the matter can be adjourned.All matters must be decided within six months,state the rules.
However,advocate Vinod Sampat says that a society will have to produce as many as 20 documents,many of which are impossible to come by for the common man.It is nothing but doomed conveyance, he warned.
