Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TNRERA) has held the sale of a common area measuring 230 sq. ft by developer G.K.S. Technology Park Pvt. Ltd. to two home buyers as null and void and imposed a penalty of ₹5 lakh. In his petition, K. Balasubramaniyan said he and his wife had bought a flat on the second floor in the builder’s “Tulive Viha” project in Anna Nagar in 2019. The apartment had a built up area of 1,594.21 sq. ft. and undivided share of 764 square feet. He alleged that the developer sold the area specified as a common corridor measuring 230 square feet in the approved building plan to two other apartment buyers in the project for ₹17.25 lakh and sought relief against the sale.
