JUDGMENT By the Court.—Windsor Park Residents Welfare Association, Indirapuram in District Ghaziabad has filed this petition for a direction upon the Ghaziabad Development Authority (the Development Authority) to ensure that a correct deed of declaration in the format prescribed under the provisions of the U.P. Apartment (Promotion of Constructions, Ownership and Maintenance) Act, 2010 (the Act) and the U.P. Apartment (Promotion of Constructions, Ownership and Maintenance) Rules, 2011 (the Rules) is filed by M/s. Assotech Reality Private Limited, which has been impleaded as respondent No. 3, in regard to Plot No. 5, Vaibhav Khand, Indirapuram. The second relief that has been sought is that the Development Authority should restrain respondent No. 3 from disposing of the common areas pursuant to the public notice dated 29 March 2015 and to make good all the losses caused to the petitioner Association because of the delay in handing over common areas and facilities. 2. It is stated that the Vice-Chairman of the Development Authority passed an order on 7 June 2012 directing respondent No. 3 to file a deed of declaration and hand over the common areas and facilities to the petitioner-Association by 30 June 2012, but as the direction was not complied with, another order dated 3 September 2013 was passed directing respondent No. 3 to file a deed of declaration. 3. In the meantime, a Division Bench of this Court by its common judgment dated 14 November 2013 disposed of Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 33826 of 2012, M/s. Designarch Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. and another v. Vice-Chairman, Ghaziabad Development Authority and others; 2013(9) ADJ 594 (DB), Abhinav Jain v. State of U.P. and others; Civil Misc.

Writ Petition No. 12110 of 2013, Olive County Apartment Owners’ Association v. State of U.P. and others, that had been filed in connection with the Act and the Rules framed thereunder with certain directions. 4. The Vice-Chairman of the Development Authority, therefore, again directed respondent No. 3 to file a deed of declaration. Writ Petition No. 12110 of 2013, Olive County Apartment Owners’ Association v. State of U.P. and others, that had been filed in connection with the Act and the Rules framed thereunder with certain directions. 4. The Vice-Chairman of the Development Authority, therefore, again directed respondent No. 3 to file a deed of declaration. According to the petitioner-Association, incomplete and defective deed of declaration was filed on 12 June 2014 and as soon as the petitioner-Association came to know about the filing of the aforesaid deed, it filed written objections before the Vice-Chairman of the Development Authority in which it was also pointed out that the declaration was not in conformity with the judgment dated 14 November 2013 passed by the Division Bench in the writ petitions referred to above. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner-Association has submitted that the objections filed by the petitioner have not been considered till date by the Vice-Chairman of the Development Authority. It is his submission that the judgment dated 14 November 2013 had taken into consideration the relevant requirements of the Act and the Rules but respondent No. 3 has filed a deed of declaration not only contrary to the provisions of the Act and the Rules but also contrary to the directions issued by the Division Bench of this Court. 6. Sri Shivam Yadav has appeared for respondent No. 1-Development Authority with Sri Pavan Kumar Yadav. Learned Standing Counsel appears for respondent No. 2. In view of the order that we propose to pass, it will not be necessary to issue notices to respondent Nos. 3 and 4. 7.

It is, therefore, his submission that in the first instance the Vice-Chairman of the Development Authority shall examine the grievances raised by the petitioner. 8. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that the petitioner may be given liberty to file fresh objections before the Vice-Chairman of the Development Authority for him to examine the same in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the Rules. 9. 8. Learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that the petitioner may be given liberty to file fresh objections before the Vice-Chairman of the Development Authority for him to examine the same in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the Rules. 9.
