Argus Partners successfully represented the appellants [homeowners] before the Calcutta High Court in relation to the construction of a residential tower in the Elita Garden Vista Project
We are pleased to announce that Argus Partners successfully represented the appellants [homeowners] before the Calcutta High Court in relation to the construction of a 26-storey tower in the Elita Garden Vista Project. The Court held that the construction was unauthorized, directed its demolition within 60 days, and ordered refund of amounts paid by homebuyers with interest. The judgment clarified the interplay between municipal approvals and statutory protections under the West Bengal Apartment Ownership Act, holding that homeowner consent is a mandatory requirement for structural additions.
The appellants were advised by the Argus Partners’ team comprising Soorjya Ganguli and Pooja Chakrabarti (Partners), Arti Bhattacharyya (Senior Associate), and Aritra Deb (Associate).
