Bombay HC Quashes Corrigendum on RG Land Share Dispute
The Bombay High Court recently made an important decision about a dispute between two housing societies in Mumbai.
The societies, Shree Rasraj Heights and Devendra CHSL, were arguing over how much of a shared recreational area (RG land) each should get during a building redevelopment.
The court said that a lower authority had wrongly tried to settle this dispute by changing a document called a deemed conveyance certificate.
The court explained that this kind of dispute needs proper legal judgment and can't be decided by just correcting a document.
The court canceled the change made to the document but said Devendra CHSL can still challenge the original document to get a fair decision about their share of the RG land.
The Bombay High Court quashed a corrigendum that altered a deemed conveyance certificate regarding the share of RG land.
The dispute was between two housing societies, Shree Rasraj Heights and Devendra CHSL, over the exact proportionate share of the RG area.
The court ruled that the competent authority cannot decide such disputes through a corrigendum, as it involves adjudication.
A corrigendum can only correct clerical or arithmetical errors, not resolve disputes requiring legal judgment.
The court granted Devendra CHSL the liberty to challenge the original deemed conveyance order to seek determination of its exact entitlement to the RG area.
