The district registrar of firms and societies ordered the developer of Palm Grove Heights, a high-rise condominium in Ardee City in Sector 52, to hand over its maintenance to the residents’ welfare association (RWA) of the society.

Earlier on March 20, the senior town planner office, Gurugram, had issued a similar order to the developer of the Ardee City. IS Yadav, district registrar firms and societies, said he had called a meeting of the representatives of the builder and members of the RWA on April 25 to discuss the matter. During the meeting, both the parties made an agreement regarding the transfer.

“Later on May 1, the RWA members submitted an undertaking in this office, stating that the builder has transferred security and housekeeping to them. On the basis of all these developments, I issued an order on May 10, asking the builder to transfer all the remaining services with immediate effect to the RWA,” Yadav said. However, members of the RWA said water, sewerage, electricity, layout details with the licence plan are yet to be transferred by the builder to RWA.

Naresh Khushalani, president of the association, said, “The account of the society, water and sewer connections and the original plan of the building complex approved by the Haryana Town and Country Planning department need to be transferred to us by the builder. We will wait for another week for the transfer. Otherwise, we will file a case of contempt at the district registrar’s office.”

Anil Hasija, senior vice president, Ardee Infra, said, “We have not given any undertaking to the RWA as the matter of transfer of society’s maintenance is being heard by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The next date of hearing is scheduled for later this month.”
