Developer vs. HAL dispute intensifies in court

Contrary to the claims made by M/s Chalet Hotels while getting No Objection Certificate from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the residential apartment project  Raheja Vivarea in Bengaluru's Koramangala area, Karnataka State Remote Sensing Application Centre(KSRSAC) has estimated the height of the construction spot of Raheja Vivarea to be 892 metres Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL).
The immediate implication of this is that Raheja Vivarea can not construct any of the blocks in the proposed complex beyond 13 floors, or 40 metres.
Earlier, a group of concerned residents had written to Defence Minister A K Antony, highlighting the difference in the elevation of the project site above sea level, as projected by the builder, M/s Chalet Hotels (870 metres) and as available in Survey of India -1970 maps and Google maps (892 metres). This data was used to get the height clearance for Raheja Vivarea from Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd airport, which is a defence establishment.
