Allottee Consent - The courts have emphasized the importance of obtaining proper consent from all relevant parties before transferring or modifying allotments. For instance, the housing board must consider the original allottee's prior consent for transfer requests, as seen in issues raised in PHILIP KURIAN vs DEPUTY SECRETARY - Kerala. Similarly, transfers made without the collector's consent are generally considered valid unless specified otherwise, as in Gopilal Dey Son of Lt. Khetramohan Dey VS Sukumar Dey Son of Lt. Khetramohan Dey - Tripura.
Modification of Amenities - Changes affecting amenities or structure require the written approval of at least two-thirds of allottees. This was upheld in Chennai Hiranandani Residents Welfare Association VS Secretary, Housing and Urban Development Department - Madras, where alterations to amenities like clubhouses or residential towers necessitate collective consent, and approval can be quashed if such consent is not obtained.
Transfer Validity and Legal Requirements - Transfers without the necessary consent, whether from the collector or other authorities, are often deemed valid unless explicitly voided by law. For example, transfers made without collector’s consent are not void ab initio but may be subject to cancellation within a specified period (Gopilal Dey Son of Lt. Khetramohan Dey VS Sukumar Dey Son of Lt. Khetramohan Dey - Tripura, Gujarat Maritime Board VS Sea Green Marine - Gujarat).
Conditions for Transfer and Breach - Breaching agreements, such as changing flats without consent or without signing necessary documents, can lead to forfeiture of earnest money or cancellation of allotments (Omaxe Buildhome Ltd. VS Pradeep Chaudhary - Consumer, Doshmani VS Ayoda Inok Anjore - Bombay). Breaches by the allottee or builder undermine transfer validity.
Court Jurisdiction and Consent Documentation - The master brochure or allotment letter often constitutes the consent of the allottee, and disputes are typically subject to jurisdiction clauses, such as in AIR FORCE NAVAL HOUSING BOARD VS CHANDRA SHEKHAR VATS - Allahabad. Proper documentation and adherence to contractual terms are critical.
Summary: Overall, allottee consent—whether prior approval, written agreement, or statutory approval—is central to valid transfers, modifications, and legal enforceability. Transfers without requisite consent are often challenged, but their validity depends on specific legal provisions and circumstances. Proper documentation and adherence to collective agreement thresholds are essential to ensure legality.
