High Court to amend Buildings Control Act in Goa
The High Court of Bombay has filed a case against the changes proposed on the Building Control Act, 1968. Justice Salvi reported saying that as per his observations the rent controller has no power to amend the law and with the orders given by the High Court. When a writ petition was passed over this issue, Judge A.P Lavande in one of the similar cases observed that the law has not been taken up seriously in the eye of the acts passed by the government and it needs to be taken serious action off, he added.
The power to amend this act is considered as incidental and ancillary power vested in concern with the authorities. The rent controller would have hardly any jurisdiction to even encourage this kind of amendment application. Henceforth this has been under the long practice from all the authorities under this act. The judge has now put this case in front of chief justice under the reconsideration as to whether the authorities pave way for the amendments in Goa and Daman and Diu Buildings Control Act ,1968. This case would take a deep study as to why changes has to be made under this act. The High Court also takes the decision in concern with the welfare of the builders, land owners as well as the residents of every individual house in these places.
