A CONDITION WAS NEVER MET. THE BOMBAY HC SET ASIDE A DEEMED CONVEYANCE THAT HAD STOOD FOR EIGHT YEARS.

The Andheri Ruling — Apeksha CHS, Lokhandwala Road On June 9, 2026, Justice Farhan Dubash set aside the deemed conveyance granted in favour of Apeksha Cooperative Housing Society in Andheri (West), which had stood since a 2017 order of the Competent Authority. The developer — BK Corporation — had challenged that order. The court found that once a decision becomes final, a Competent Authority cannot reopen the same issue by entertaining a fresh deemed conveyance application unless it has the specific legal power to review its own order. The dispute relates to Sundervan Complex at Lokhandwala Road, Oshiwara. Four housing societies — Apeksha, Noble House, Valencia, and Camron Heights — were formed within the complex. A condition attached to the original deemed conveyance process had not been fulfilled. The court found the fresh application irregular. The court granted a four-week stay of its own judgment — until July 7, 2026 — to allow Apeksha CHS time to approach a superior court. As of the date of this issue, the stay operates. The Noble House CHS pending civil suit was directed to be expedited, preferably within one year. The Vile Parle Recalculation — Three Societies, Twelve Buildings Separately, the Bombay HC directed the Competent Authority to issue a fresh conveyance certificate for three cooperative housing societies in Vile Parle — involving twelve buildings constructed across the 1970s and 1990s — after the original 2017 certificate was found to require recalculation. The fresh certificate is to cover 16,584.55 square metres. Parties appeared before the Competent Authority on June 24, 2026. What Both Cases Tell Societies Deemed conveyance, once obtained, is not automatically immune from challenge if procedural conditions attached to the original grant were not fulfilled or if the underlying calculation was in error. The procedural trail — every step documented, every condition verifiably met, every calculation supported by a certified area breakup — is not administrative formality. It is the foundation on which a conveyance order can survive challenge. ACTIVE LITIGATION DISCLAIMER: Both the Andheri/Apeksha matter and the Vile Parle matter are subject to further proceedings. Court orders are subject to stays and modifications. The Apeksha CHS stay operates until July 7, 2026, at minimum.

न्यायमूर्ती फरहान दुबाश यांनी ९ जून रोजी Apeksha Co-operative Housing Society (अंधेरी पश्चिम) ला २०१७ मध्ये मिळालेले 'मानीव अभिहस्तांतरण' (Deemed Conveyance) रद्द केले. Sundervan Complex, Lokhandwala Road, Oshiwara — BK Corporation ने आव्हान दिले होते. मूळ प्रक्रियेतील एक अट पूर्ण झाली नव्हती. न्यायालयाने ४ आठवडे (७ जुलै पर्यंत) स्थगिती दिली — Apeksha CHS ला वरिष्ठ न्यायालयात जाण्यासाठी. विले पार्ले — तीन सोसायट्या, १२ इमारती (१९७० ते १९९० दरम्यान) — सक्षम प्राधिकरणाला नवीन Certificate जारी करण्याचे आदेश. क्षेत्रफळ: १६,५८४.५५ चौ.मी. पक्षकार २४ जून रोजी सक्षम प्राधिकरणासमोर उपस्थित. या निर्णयांचे सार: मानीव अभिहस्तांतरण मिळाले म्हणजे ते कायमचे आव्हान-मुक्त नाही. मूळ प्रक्रियेतील सर्व अटी पूर्ण असणे, सर्व क्षेत्रफळ गणना certified असणे — हे न्यायालयात टिकण्याचा पाया आहे. दोन्ही प्रकरणे न्यायालयीन कार्यवाहीत आहेत — आदेश बदलू शकतात.
