BAF urges govt to table, implement Karnataka Apartment Ownership Act
Bengaluru (PTI): The BAF on Tuesday urged the state government to table and implement the Karnataka Apartment Ownership and Management Act during the upcoming legislature session in Belagavi.
It will be held between December 8 and 19.
Representing over 1,400 apartment and villa Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), the federation said the state must immediately update the outdated Karnataka Apartment Ownership Act, 1972, to end administrative chaos and litigation arising from unclear management and ownership rights.
In a statement, the Bangalore Apartments Federation President Satish Mallya said, "Implementing a comprehensive legal framework for apartment owners has been BAF’s primary demand for years, a commitment both the Congress and BJP included in their manifestos."
"With two and a half years elapsed since the Congress government took office, this is no longer a mere request, but an urgent legislative demand," he added.
Mallya further said, "The delay, legal vacuum, and lack of clarity have severely impacted lakhs of homeowners who deserve protection."
According to the statement, BAF’s detailed proposal urges the government to include non-negotiable provisions for property rights and conveyance, empowerment of owners’ associations, enforcement powers for bye-laws, dispute resolution, redevelopment, and other measures.

Man found hanging at brother's house in Delhi's Jafrabad; suicide over matrimonial discord suspected
New Delhi (PTI): A 30-year-old man was found hanging at his residence in northeast Delhi's Jafrabad area on Thursday, with police suspecting that matrimonial discord may have driven him to take the extreme step, an official said.
Information was received from Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital regarding a person who had been brought dead, he said.
During enquiry, the deceased was identified as Chand (30), a resident of Welcome area. Police said he was staying with his brother at a house in Jafrabad where he was allegedly found hanging.
According to police, Chand was first taken to Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital by family members after they found him in an unconscious state, and was declared brought dead.
The family later shifted him to LNJP Hospital seeking a second medical opinion, where doctors again declared him dead, police said.
Police said the body has been sent for post-mortem to ascertain the cause of death.
During preliminary verification, it came to light that Chand was facing matrimonial issues. His wife had reportedly left him and shifted to her parental home following disputes between the couple, police said, adding that the angle is being examined as part of the investigation.
Crime and forensics teams were informed and necessary legal proceedings are underway, police said.
