Summary: A Mumbai court has ruled in favor of Shruti Mayank Shah, declaring a series of real estate deals involving her flat as fake. The court ordered the cancellation of these fake agreements, giving her back her rightful ownership.
Shruti Mayank Shah, a 58-year-old housewife, found herself in a legal fight over her flat in the "81 Aureate" building in Mumbai. She bought the flat in December 2020 for Rs. 11.75 crores, with an agreement that seemed solid.
In September 2024, Shruti found out through a WhatsApp group that an Allotment Letter dated May 9, 2024, existed for her flat. This letter, issued by a fake entity, was in favor of someone else. The sale price was surprisingly lower at Rs. 3.5 crores.
"We state that clearly these are fake and made-up documents," said the court documents.
A suspicious agreement dated July 31, 2024, showed her flat sold to another person for Rs. 8.78 crores. This deal was done by a fake company, "Ultra Life Space Pvt. Ltd." Within 22 days, the flat was supposedly sold again for Rs. 12 crores.
Shruti's legal team asked the court to cancel these fake agreements. The people she was up against initially promised to look into and fix the issue but didn’t do anything, leading to the court case.
"Defendant No.6 is no longer interested in the property," admitted one of the defendants.
Judge Sandeep V. Marne ruled in favor of Shruti, saying the deals were fake. The court ordered the cancellation of all fake agreements and gave Shruti back her ownership.
The case shows how important it is to be careful in real estate deals. The court pointed out that the admissions of fraud by the defendants made it impossible for them to win their claims.
Shruti Mayank Shah's ownership of her flat is secure once more. The court's decision serves as a warning against fake practices in real estate.
"The judgment can be pronounced granting declaration in favor of the Plaintiff," concluded the court.
