Dear Experts,
I am a resident of Dombivli East Which comes under Thane District with PIN 421201.
I had purchased this Flat through a Broker named MW group who is actively selling flats in Dombivli for many builders and projects . The flat was bought in Sep 2015 with a promise of prossession would be given before Oct 2016 .
Registration was done in Jan-2016 .
Upon following up for possession we got many excuses from the MW group till Dec-2017. Later I they gave possession to few owners without proper facilities like water , drainage and lift.
MW group also asked me to take possession as the building work is complete. later when we visited the site then i found out that there is no proper water connection and builder was supplying water through tankers which was once in 2 days for 29 flats . I did not take possession due to water this . from Jan-2018 the buider has stopped supplying water and denied taking any cost for the building as the other flat owners were pressurizing him for daily water tanker and electricity bills for lift and corridor lights . later he started abusing flat owners whoever called him for any flat /buiding related queries . still the situation is same as we are unable to manage the costs which should be incurred by him as our society is also not registered .
Now my query is .
1- What action can we take against the builder for not giving us water connection .
2- -for not registering our society
3- for abuse he did to us .
your resposes will be very helpful to decide on further action to be taken by the people residing my building .

Take possession of the flat and move to consumer fora through a local prudent lawyer.

1. File proper grievance petition before the local Consumer Court, for harassment, deficiency, negligence, delay, lack of promised amenities etc.... supported by documentary evidence and claim heavy compensation, damages and costs. This can be collectively done by the group of 29 Flat-Owners, in one single petition.
2. ALSO file a Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like cheating, intimidation, threatening, abusing, fraud against the Builder and the Agent, supported with all relevant supporting documents. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet. .
