Gurgaon: A plea submitted to Haryana govt has sought a special one-time composition policy for Sushant Lok 1, 2 and 3, offering relief to thousands of homeowners facing possible action over building deviations. The proposal called for regularisation of minor and technical violations, including covered cut-out areas and marginal variations in front and rear setbacks.The plea said many affected residents are epurchasers who had no role in original construction and inherited deviations made by builders or previous owners. The representation argued that treating such homeowners on the same footing as deliberate violators would be disproportionate and against the principles of fairness and good governance.It also pointed out that development in Sushant Lok was largely carried out through collaboration between plot owners and builders. Builders undertook construction, after which floors were divided between the parties. As a result, several current owners may have purchased properties where deviations already existed.According to the plea, more than 1,000 residential properties across the three phases may involve only minor deviations. It warned that coercive action could cause hardship to thousands of families, increase litigation and add to the administrative burden on enforcement agencies. A composition mechanism, it says, would encourage compliance, provide legal certainty and protect homeowners from consequences arising from violations committed by others.The proposal also highlighted a potential financial gain for the state, estimating revenue of around Rs 40 crore through composition charges. It says such a policy could turn a long-pending administrative issue into an opportunity for lawful regularisation and revenue generation.The plea cited Haryana’s earlier decision to allow compounding of certain unauthorised fourth-floor constructions as a precedent. If substantially larger violations could be considered for regularisation in the public interest, there is a stronger case for extending similar relief to minor technical deviations affectingbonafide purchasers, the representation argued.It proposed that the one-time relief should be backed by clear guidelines specifying that any future violations will invite strict enforcement.
