Parking can only be allotted by housing society

Hundreds of unlisted companies are under the government’s scanner for funnelling thousands of crores of black money into the legitimate financial system through instruments that authorities suspect are being used to obscure the source of slush funds.

The Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has given more teeth to cooperative housing societies by ruling that they can redistribute parking spaces sold and allotted by the developer after adopting a suitable bye-law.

“Allotment of parking space is a matter that has be decided by the housing society of flat purchasers,” the commission observed on February 21 while deciding a complaint filed by Thane-based elderly couple Deepa and Dilip Joshi.

The retired judge and his wife, who had purchased a flat in Venus Building at Gawand Baug on Pokharan Road No 2 in Thane, had approached the commission in May last year after they were restrained by their developer, Vardhman Homes, from parking their vehicle in a space sold to another flat purchaser.
