How to cancel registered development agreement

1)      Our building a registered society under MCS act 1960, situated at Mumbai. Is comprising of 63 members and 4 wings went for the redevelopment in the year 2010. Society entered into agreement with the developer via Development Agreement (DA) in Aug 2010.

2)      In Aug 2010, individual members executed Permanent Alternate accommodation Agreement (PAAA). Its tri party agreement between Society, Developer and member.

3)      Both the agreements were dully registered and stamp duty paid.

4)      Due to non compliance of the DA and PAAA terms and breaches, General Body in the meeting held on 27th September, 2014, decided to terminate the DA and PAAA and power of attorney .

5)      A  Notice has been served informing Developer the termination of DA, PAAA and PA

6)      Our lawyer is of opinion that it is clear breach of terms and a termination notice as per DA clause will suffice the purpose of terminating the developer and no need for arbitration as provided in DA.

Your expert advice needed for the following-

1)      Is the said contract is null and void with the issue of termination notice?

2)      Do we need any order from court to officially cancel the contract?

3)      Is our society become sellable with the clear title and we can enter in to new development agreement with the new builder ?

4)      What are rights of the developer in this situation?

Please  provide your expert advice.

Thanking you,

Desai

If the Developer does not accept the termination notice he will seek arbitration. Then, till arbitration is over you are not free from your contractual obligations.

Thank you.

What does it mean by developer accept the Termination Notice?

A month has passed after termination notice being served and society has not recieved any communication from developer.

How much time is allow as per law?

Thanks,

Bhavesh

It may be better for you to approach the Registrar seeking cancellation of the agreements entered and go per the procedure advised there. 

Generally, anyone  seeking to buy these properties would seek details from the Registrar and will see these agreements not cancelled therein. So future sales/ agreements may not be possible. 

Your lawyer advises you no further efforts on your part are required. He may be right but tell him to give the same in writings well as seek alternate opinion from a local lawyer well versed in property matters, giving him full details of agreements entered into and developments since then.

Thank you very much Mr.Hardeep.

I will contact Registrar and get more details.

And also second opinion is sought.

Thanks once again.
