Single Award Permissibility - Based on the provided sources, there is no explicit prohibition against granting a single award to multiple persons who have entered into separate MoUs with different companies (landlord and developer) for allotment of flats in a residential project. The documents primarily discuss allotments, MOUs, and development agreements involving individual allottees and developers, without indicating that such arrangements restrict the possibility of a collective or single award in similar circumstances. ["Complaint No. RAJ-RERA-C-N-2022-4796 Argus Flat Owners Associations Versus Shyam Goyal And Others - Real Estate Regulatory Authority"], ["Complaint No. RAJ-RERA-C-N-2022-4796 Argus Flat Owners Associations Versus Shyam Goyal And Others - Real Estate Regulatory Authority"]
Nature of Agreements - The sources highlight that MoUs and allotment letters are often specific to individual allottees and are governed by terms that specify allotment details, responsibilities, and legal compliance. The legality and enforceability depend on proper adherence to these terms, including authorization, stamping, registration, and NOC requirements. The existence of multiple MoUs with different persons and companies suggests that multiple separate awards or allotments are standard practice, not necessarily precluding a single award.
Precedents and Legal Context - The cases cited involve multiple allottees, some for residential and others for commercial purposes, with agreements that assign responsibilities to developers and authorities. There is no indication that a single award would be impermissible if 11 persons have entered into separate MoUs with different entities for flats in the same project, provided each agreement complies with legal requirements and is properly documented.
Conclusion - Based on the analysis, issuing a single award to all 11 persons collectively, despite their separate MoUs with different companies, appears permissible under the legal framework outlined in the sources. The key considerations are the validity, authorization, and registration of each agreement, rather than the number of allottees or the parties involved. Therefore, a single award can be granted if these conditions are met.
