Bangalore: The High Court on Wednesday gave a shocker to the people who have invested in flats at the Raheja Vivarea apartment complex in Koramangala Industrial Layout. The court told their advocate that if a case was made out for the larger public good, these people would have to make sacrifices.
The apartment complex with 10 buildings has been embroiled in a legal tussle with HAL Airport authorities after the latter withdrew their no-objection certificate citing that the complex was violating norms that stipulate that no building can be built above 45 metres within a radius of four kilometres from the airport. The HC did not spare the HAL or the builder either. HAL has been asked to submit to the court the original file related to the application made by Chalet Hotels Private Limited after its counsel told the court that a document was added to it months after the original application. Chalet Hotels have already been forbidden from modifying or developing the buildings beyond 40 metres.
Chalet Hotels had applied and got the NOC from from HAL in 2012. But on August 16, 2013, HAL revoked this NOC stating that it had been provided with wrong information about the elevation of the land on which the apartment complex was being built. HAL claimed that it had been informed earlier that the final height of the buildings will not go beyond 870 metres above mean sea level. But it turned out that it would be 932 metres. Chalet Hotels then filed the petition against HAL in the HC.
