Owning a house in Mumbai is possibly the most difficult and the most cherished dream. Imagine how frustrating it would be to wait for over 12 years to get a house but be deprived of its possession.

Rajaram Deshmukh lived through this experience and has finally got some relief in a consumer courts ruled in his favour after seven years.

A beneficiary of a slum redevelopment plan, Deshmukh has won his legal battle against a co-operative housing society monitoring the redevelopment of the slum he inhabited.

The suburban additional consumer disputes redressal forum has recently ordered that Deshmukh be paid Rs50,000 by the Chembur, Tilaknagar, Adarshnagar Housing Development Society for not just having deprived him of the ownership of the promised house post redevelopment but also having caused immense physical and mental harassment rendering him homeless.

Shri Tirupati Developers took over the responsibility for the redevelopment of the slum where Deshmukh lived in 1998. After its completion year 2003, Deshmukh realised that neither was he given the possession of flat as the contract promised but he also lost his house in the transit camp.

Prima facie Deshmukh obviously held the developers guilty but eventually after exchange of couple of notices he realised that his own society was his real culprit. The developers informed him that they were told not to give the possession of the said flat to Deshmukh by the society itself. Not just that, the flat of his dreams was already sold to a third party.

The president of the forum Suman Mahajan and member GL Chavan ordered that Deshpande be paid the said compensation apart from an additional Rs5,000 as the cost of the complaint.
