Neelkanth Kingdom, a mega residential housing complex in Vidyavihar west, is finding itself on the wrong side of the law. Over 300 residents have been issued show-cause notices by the BMC under section 353 (A) of the MMC Act for carrying out various violations. Notices have also been served to the developer and licensed surveyor, for allowing flat buyers to move into the flats without an Occupation Certificate (OC).

Neelkanth Kingdom is spread over more than 25 acres. Phase 1 of the project comprises seven residential buildings – Awadh, Magadh, Avanti, Takshashila, Nalanda, Mithila and Kalinga. The notice, under Section 353 (A), read with 471 of the MMC Act, has been issued to over 300 flat owners residing in the said complex. BMC has also registered a case before the 42nd Metropolitan Magistrate Court at Shindewadi, Dadar. The first hearing of the case was held on August 22. The matter has been adjourned for hearing in the third week of October.
