money on my treatment. Recently I have developed Catract in both of eyes and

Builder Name and Address
M/s R.C. Construction Co.
225, Sheetal Cinema Bldg,
L.B.S. Marg, Kurla (W),
Mumbai 400 070.
Tel : 02225034064
Mob : 9224332063
I was a Resident of C/5, Janta Nagar, Hall Road,Kurla west Mumbai 400070 Our
Chawl was taken for Redevelopment by R.C.Construction Co. The Builder had paid
Rs 1,80,000/- as 18 months advance Rent from 29th December 2008 to 28th June
2010. The Builder Promised that he would Redevelop our chawl into building in
18 months and incase of any delay in construction he would pay Rs 15000/-
(Fifteen thousand only ) towards Alternate Rental Charges.
Through Registered Postal letter on 29th July
2010 I sent him a reminder that 18 months period has passed and the
construction of the building is yet to be completed. So as per our agreement he
should Pay Rs 15000/-(Fifteen thousand only ) towards Alternate Rental Charges.
It is Clearly Stated in the Agreement (Clause 11 ) in Event of any Delay in
Construction the Developer will be liable to pay the Amount of Rs 15000/-
(Fifteen thousand only ) per month. The Builder paid Rent from July 2010 to may
2011 @ Rs 10,000/- (Ten thousand only ) per month. Rs 5000/- (Five Thousand
Only ) Short of what he was supposed to pay.
The builder has not paid any rent since June 2011, I Called him Several times
on his Telephone No. 022 25034064 and his Office Incharge Mr Chakravaty on his
mobile No. 9224332063 and requested him to pay the rent for alternate
accommodation but he always said that he will pay the rent in a few days but
never paid. On 6th July 2012 I Sent him a Reminder through Registered Speed
Post and demanded that he pay the rent for 14 months from June 2011 to July
2012 but there was no reply.
As per my calculations the Builder (R.C.Construction Co. ) has to pay me Rs
15000/- x 29 Months = 4,35,000/- (Four Lac Thirty Five Thousand Only ) and from
July 2010 to May 2011 you have paid Rs 10,000/- as monthly rent so the
remaining Rs 5000/- per month i.e. Rs 5000 x 12 Months = 60,000/- ( Sixty
Thousand Only ) So the total amount you should pay me is Rs 2,70,000/- (Four
Lac Ninety Five Thousand Only ) along with the Interest charges and the penalty
amount for causing mental harassment
In March 2013 the builer Broke the gallery space around my flat saying that the
BMC has changed their rule and told them to do so. At the time of Construction
the Builder has taken 3 cheques of Rs 1,00,000/- each ( One Lac Rupees ) for
giving extra 50 square foot and gallery space. He has not even provided us the
alternate agreement. In June 2013 he has started the construction of the 8th
floor which according to me may be illegal when i asked to show the permission
he refuse to do so.
The consequence i had to face :
Take loan from my friends and relative for my medical treatment.
Delay in getting medical treatment due to lack of money.
People would give their house only for eleven months. After elven months i had
to shift the house from one place to another which is time consuming as well as
frustrating. I am not able to move furniture and other things from one house to
another due to my age so i have to hire people by paying them money.
Pay One month Rent as Commission to the broker for getting a new house on rent
after elven months
Furniture and electronic products got damaged while shifting the house.
I had to stay in rental apartment which has toilet outside and facing
difficulty going to toilet because of my age.
Facing Financial problem due to builder not paying rent on time.
Mental stress due to builder always giving false date of possession of my
house, when i call on the specific date the builder gives some excuse saying it
will take more time.
what i want from the builder :
Copy of the Alternate Agreement for which he had taken 3 cheques of Rupees one
lac
Rent for 29 months @ Rupees 15000 per Month along with the interest charges and
compensation for mental harassment .
Possession of My house as soon as possible. and to provide me the exact date by
when i will get the possession of my house.
show me the permission for breaking my gallery and construction of the 8th
floor
Regards
Krishna Bahl
