ESTATE OFFICER’S ORDER QUASHED

CHANDIGARH: The chief administrator has quashed a 2017 order of the estate officer wherein an appellant was directed to deposit additional premium on account of an extra floor. The decision will have direct bearing on 83 similar cases from Sector 17 pending before the estate office. The appeal was filed by Kapsons. “The building plans of the site were sanctioned in 1975 and the temporary sewerage connection was taken in 1976, prior to the issuance of the 1981 notification regarding extra floor, then how the composition fee is demanded in the case,” states the order.
