These projects were Sobha Althea and Azalea, Sobha Adamus and Amethyst, Sobha Chrysanthemum, and Sobha Ruby and Ruby Platinum group housing projects and Sobha Lotus layout project of Sobha Developers Ltd. in different parts of Bangalore and the Golden Blossom group housing project of Golden Gate Properties Ltd. The court directed that the Revised Master Plan (RMP) 2015, which came into force in June 2007 in Bangalore city, states that the area marked for civic amenities sites, parks and open space in residential projects will have to be relinquished in favour of the BDA and the BDA has the task to handover civic amenities to the RWAs for maintenance.

In this regard, the Karnataka High Court has taken the decision in its two separate verdicts on the litigation, in which the BDA’s action of asking for hefty rent from the developers and RWAs to lease civic amenities sites in certain group housing layout and projects was questioned.

The BDA will have the right over the site after the handover but they cannot charge rent or lease, deposit or surcharges either one time or annually neither from the developers nor from the RWA while handing over the site to the RWA.

The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) have to make sure that the civic amenities sites are handed over to the RWAs for upkeep after being developed as per the approved plan.

Good news for residents of group housing and private layouts! The builders will have to develop the sites allocated for the civic amenities and then have to hand over to the registered residents’ welfare association for the maintenance.
