However, he did not directly seek the approval of people invested in his project as mandated under Section 4(4) of the UP Apartment Act 2010. Instead, the city authority issued an advertisement in the local newspaper inviting objections of buyers on behalf of the developer. What the authority did was against the law as a written consent from each home allottee is mandatory to make any changes in the plan. The authority also has no role in obtaining a no-objection from each and every allottee to effect any change in the plan. By issuing an advertisement to seek ‘consent’ from allottees, the authority is trying to circumvent Section 4 (4) of the UP Apartment Act,” say residents in the said project.
