Car parking occupied by owner builder in standalone



I want to share my story. i purchased a flat for 63.63 lakhs spent 7 lakhs on registration 1 lakh on khata transfer and 20 lakhs on interior in ks layout Bangalore 560111 in 2017. i didn't have a car when purchasing a flat. There were 10 flats in the building. 8 are sold to outsiders. 2 are penthouse occupied by builder and his sons. Builder and sons have 6 cars and because I didn't have car they occupied my car parking and told me when I bring car they will vacate. Few months later i bought car but builder refused to vacate my spot. When I protested the builder and hiz sons beat me up and fractured my leg . My mother complained to ks layout police for ipc 307. Builder and sons false filed COUNTER COMPLIANT under ipc 307. The inspector told my mother that if they go ahead they will register both FIR as cross FIR. And then I would have to go to court to clear my name. Because I am A psu employee a s a govt servant FIR would mean suspension. So he advised and I withdrew my complaint and builder also withdrew his complaint. After I recovered i put the flat for resale but due to no resale market for standalone building in ks layout I sold it for just 56 lakhs as no buyers were available for my invested price of 90 lakhs. I suffered A massive 34 lacs loss. That is a harrowing experience, and it is deeply frustrating that a situation starting with a simple property right escalated into physical violence and a significant financial loss.

It is completely understandable why i felt backed into a corner regarding the police complaint. The threat of a "cross FIR" is a common, though highly manipulative, tactic used to exploit the professional stakes of government employees. Choosing to protect career and long-term stability in that moment was a survival decision, even if the outcome felt unjust.

Losing 34 lakhs is a staggering blow, especially after the physical and emotional trauma i endured. Many people underestimate the "builder-tenant" power dynamic in standalone buildings, where the lack of a formal Residents' Welfare Association (RWA) or professional security can leave individual owners vulnerable to this kind of bullying.

Moving Forward and Finding Closure
While the financial loss is heavy, there are a few perspectives that might help as i move past this chapter:

Safety Over Property: No amount of real estate is worth physical safety or life. By selling and leaving, i removed yourself from a toxic and dangerous environment where the "neighbors" had already proven they were willing to cause serious harm.

The "Peace of Mind" Dividend: While the math shows a 34-lakh loss, staying would have likely resulted in years of ongoing legal fees, medical bills, and the daily stress of living next to your attackers. Sometimes, cutting a loss is the only way to stop the "bleeding" of mental health.

A Hard Lesson in Due Diligence: my story serves as a powerful cautionary tale for others. It highlights why checking the parking layout, the ratio of cars to slots, and the reputation of a small-scale builder is just as critical as checking the title deeds.

It takes a lot of resilience to start over after being treated so unfairly

Car parking occupied by owner builder in standalone




I saw your comment about your car parking situation in flat. I want to share smy story.i purchased a flat for 63.63 lakhs spent 7 lakhs on registration 1 lakh on khata transfer and 20 lakhs on interior in ks layout 560111 in 2017. Just like you i didn't have a car when purchasing a flat. There were 10 flats in the building. 8 are sold to outsiders. 2 are penthouse occupied by builder and his sons. Builder and sons have 6 cars and because I didn't have car they occupied my car parking and told me when I bring car they will vacate. Few months later i bought car but builder refused to vacate my spot. When I protested the builder and hiz sons beat me up and fractured my leg . My mother complained to ks layout police for ipc 307. Builder and sons false filed cOUNTER COMPLIANT under ipc 307. The inspector told my mother that if they go ahead they will register both FIR CALLED as cross FIR. And then I would have to go to court to clear my name. Because I am A psu employee a s a govt servant FIR would mean suspension.

Release deed

Me and mother are first owners of a 2bhk flat in HM Royal, Kondhwa, Pune on 8th floor, building is 10 yrs old but that particular tower was constructed in 2025. Flat built up area is 57.96 sq m. Apart from mother, I have brother and brother in my family. Flat is self acquired with financial contribution from me and my parents. Now mother needs to transfer her share to me, so I become full owner of the flat,
1. Which deed is correct in this case - gift or release deed so that there is no objection in future from any legal heir and also from cost and taxation point of view
2. What is the approximate cost for gift or release deed
3. Wat clauses are important here
4. Is brothers consent necessary

Selling a jointly held property by a co owner

hv a simple question.
Iam a 90 % disabled person with no ability to walk.
My mother died 5 yrs back. in May. we are 4 sisters and 1 brother.She left a detailed WILL on how to divide the property. This question pertains to the division of the plot or land. The concerned translated portion of the WILL is as under:
2 sisters r nri.
I decide through this WILL that the property of the plot as mentioned above should be given to all the four daughters and son in an equal proportion, which means they should become co-owners of the above property of the plot. But in future, due to any reason any of my son or daughter may expire, then the remaining alive heirs can distribute amongst them the above property of plot with their mutual consent, and they will be deemed as independent owners, and in this regard, my son or daughters or any third party and their heirs cannot create any objection or dispute, and if they will create such dispute or objection then it would be treated as null and void by virtue of this WILL. now, after 6 months i.e in the month of december, one of my sister passed away.

Now one of my sister says tht she hs sold off her portion of the plot to some buyer. the plot hsnot been divided. ALL the original papers r with me. they jst hv whtsapp copy. the nri sisters want some time to update their official papers.
can a coowner go and sell his portion without the consent of others and tht too without papers.
if this is legally permitted then i too shld go and sell it. the rest 2 wld follow later on.
Is this step legally valid because she claims tht her husband was a supreme court lawyer and hence understands law better. Actually, the prices of the plot hv increased. She is refusing to wait for remaining 2 and me. The buyer is now pressurising me to sell my portion to him through the same route.
i shall be thankful if u learned lawyers can throw some light and guide me.

ANAND JAIN


P.S: the plot is in my mom's name as of today.
