A.Dear Client,
Builders are not the Licensee to distribute the electricity or LPG Gas connection to the flat owners. On completion of construction of the housing complex and on receipt of the Completion Certificate(CC) and Occupancy Certificate(OC) from the competent authority, Builders applied for the electricity connection for their housing project to the concerned Electricity Board who formally and collectively approved the connection in the name of Builders which was later on mutated and changed in the name of the respective flat owners on the application. LPG connections are provided by the concerned Gas Agency to the individual flat owners on application and Builders got no role to play in the matter.

A.Dear client,
Typically, the distribution of electricity and gas to consumers is carried out by government-regulated entities such as state electricity boards and gas distribution companies. These entities are responsible for ensuring a reliable and regulated supply of electricity and gas to consumers.
However, in some cases, builders or developers may set up temporary arrangements for electricity and gas supply until the housing society or apartment complex is handed over to the appropriate authorities, or until the individual connections are set up for each flat owner.
To determine the legality of builders distributing electricity and gas in a specific project in Jharkhand, you should consider the following:
Local laws and regulations: Review the relevant state and local laws in Jharkhand regarding the supply and distribution of electricity and gas. This may include laws related to the Jharkhand State Electricity Board and gas distribution companies.
Builder-buyer agreement: Examine the builder-buyer agreement and any other contractual documents you have with the builder. These documents should specify the terms of utility supply and whether the builder is allowed to distribute electricity and gas temporarily.
Approval from authorities: Check whether the builder has obtained the necessary permissions and approvals from the appropriate authorities to distribute electricity and gas temporarily.
Dispute resolution: If there are any issues or disputes related to the supply and distribution of utilities, the builder-buyer agreement may outline the process for dispute resolution.
Seek legal advice: If you have concerns or questions about the legality of the builder distributing electricity and gas, consider consulting with a qualified lawyer who specializes in real estate and property law in Jharkhand. They can review your documents and provide you with personalized legal advice.

A.Dear client,
Review society bylaws: First, carefully review the society's bylaws and rules and regulations related to parking. Check if there are any provisions that address parking space allocation, transfers, or changes.
Communicate in writing: Document all your communications with the society management committee regarding the issue. It's essential to have a record of your requests and their responses.
Mediation or arbitration: Check if the society has provisions for mediation or arbitration to resolve disputes. If they do, you may consider using these alternative dispute resolution methods to amicably address the parking problem.
File a complaint with the society: If the management committee is unresponsive or unwilling to address your concerns, consider filing a formal complaint with the society, following their prescribed procedure.
Seek legal advice: Consult with a lawyer who specializes in property and real estate matters to understand your rights and the legal options available to you. They can review the society bylaws and advise you on the best course of action.
Consumer forum or civil court: If all attempts to resolve the issue fail, you might consider filing a complaint with the appropriate consumer forum or initiating a civil suit in court to seek a resolution.
Collect evidence: Gather evidence to support your case, such as photographs of the narrow entry, correspondence with the society, and any relevant documents or agreements related to parking.
Coordinate with other affected residents: If other residents in the society are facing similar parking issues, consider coordinating with them to present a collective case to the management committee or authorities.
Please note that each case is unique, and the specific legal options available to you may depend on the laws and regulations in Pune and the terms of your society's governing documents. It's essential to consult with a qualified attorney who can provide personalized legal advice based on the specifics of your situation.
