Chandigarh 01st
Aug:- As per existing instructions, in cases where no misuse/building
violations are reported (as per the record), the information furnished by the
applicant in the application form of transfer of dwelling units with affidavit
of the Transferor and Transferee are being relied upon. In all such cases,
fresh inspection reports are not insisted upon and transfer of the dwelling
units are allowed based on such declarations. However the transferee continues
to be liable for all the building violations either existing at the time of
transfer or made subsequently.
It has been observed that
in some cases, transfer of the unit was allowed on the basis of such
declarations but subsequently certain misuse/building violations were observed.
When actions against such violations were initiated by issuance of Show Cause
Notices, the transferees felt cheated by the transferors via submission of
wrong declarations/affidavits. They report that such violations existed
at the time of transfer of the dwelling unit. Therefore in such cases, the
existing owner/occupant (transferee) is liable to remove the violations failing
which he/she will bear the consequences like cancellation of allotment etc.
To overcome such
situation and to protect the innocent buyers, the Chandigarh Housing Board has
decided to provide an optional mechanism where the Transferor and the
Transferee may jointly apply for an inspection by the CHB and obtain a
certificate clarifying no violation at that point of time. For this purpose a
joint application, with a fee of Rs. 5000/-, may be submitted by the Transferor
(existing owner) at CHB. Further, on physical inspection will be conducted and
a certificate will be issued by CHB. However in case of any violations
carried out subsequent to the physical inspection, the transferee will continue
to be liable for the same.
