Huda dismisses extra fee for alternative plots

Gurgaon: The Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) has denied the people to give extra fee those who were allotted alternative plots instead of the original plots given to them.

The Haryana authority had sent notice for the excessive fee but later withdraw all the notices.

A client from Gurgaon was allotted a plot in Sector 28, but due to some dispute on the plot, Huda gave another plot to him in Sector 38 and asked him to pay an extra amount for the plot.

After paying the enhancement amount the plot owner moved to the Punjab and Haryana High court challenging the Huda’s notice.

The High Court gave its verdict in the favor of the plot owner and said “The petitioner is likely to pay the extra money for Sector 38, since the plot owner deposited the money before filling a suit; Huda is directed to refund the amount, if there is no extra acquisition cost in sector 38”.

The court also quashed the notice issued to the plot owner and directed the body to refund the enhancement fees to the petitioner.
