Man told to pay
2L for leakages in lower floor flat
THANE: A consumer forum in Thane has ordered a flat owner to pay Rs2 lakh to a resident on a floor below as cost of repairs for leakages.
The complainant, Nandakumar Rege, CEO of Thane District Housing Co-operative Federation, said his flat on the ground floor of a society in Vishnunagar in Thane had leakages owing to a defect in the flat above his belonging to one Milind Masurkar.
He said he had asked Masurkar to carry out repairs and plug the leakages, but the latter did not respond. Hence, he informed Masurkar that he would carry out the repairs and that he (Masurkar) should reimburse the cost, to which the latter did not respond.
