The Thane District Collectorate has reportedly sought an inquiry, while the Maharashtra Lokayukta has taken cognizance of a complaint.

Malhar Waterfront Project in Ulhasnagar Faces Legal Action Threat as Authorities Seek Explanation
The Malhar Waterfront residential project in Ulhasnagar has come under official scrutiny following complaints concerning construction approvals, development-plan status, and alleged irregularities
Malhar Waterfront project in Ulhasnagar is facing official scrutiny after complaints raised questions over construction approvals and related documents for the residential development near Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation headquarters.
The project, located at Plot No. 63, Section 4-A, CTS No. 9113, Ulhasnagar Camp-3, is situated on premises associated with Malhar Co-operative Housing Society.
According to the complaints and notices referred to in the matter, objections have been raised against construction approval bearing Plan No. UMC/BP/46/24/148, with authorities examining the circumstances surrounding the permission.
Social activist Amit Kishanchand Pamnani and advocate Adv. Nikhil H. Tekwani reportedly approached the Thane District Collector and Maharashtra Lokayukta, seeking an inquiry into alleged irregularities.
Questions have also reportedly been raised over whether the property falls within an area affected by the Development Plan, adding another regulatory dimension to the dispute.
The project has reportedly been advertised with 2 BHK flats starting from ₹55 lakh, making the regulatory questions significant for prospective purchasers considering substantial financial commitments.
Thane Collectorate Seeks Inquiry Into Malhar Waterfront Approval
A Revenue Department communication dated June 9, 2026, addressed to Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation, reportedly called for an inquiry and appropriate legal action concerning the sanctioned building plan.
The communication reportedly considered revoking the building plan if authorities determine that the approval was illegally sanctioned or otherwise inconsistent with applicable regulations.
The matter has therefore moved beyond a private complaint, with the Thane District Collectorate reportedly seeking examination by the municipal authority and appropriate action based on findings.
The Maharashtra Lokayukta has also reportedly taken cognizance of the complaint dated June 12, 2026, bringing the allegations concerning the project within its scrutiny.
The involvement of the Collectorate and Lokayukta does not, by itself, establish wrongdoing, and the final position will depend on official inquiries and subsequent proceedings.
The developments have nevertheless raised regulatory concerns for prospective purchasers, particularly because questions reportedly concern sanctioned plans, permissions, and the property’s Development Plan status.

Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation Issues Final Notice
Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation’s Town Planning Department reportedly issued a Final Reminder/Notice dated August 5, 2026, directing the concerned developer to submit an explanation.
According to the notice, the concerned party was given seven days to respond, with failure to provide an explanation potentially leading to unilateral action without further notice.
The municipal notice represents the latest reported administrative development in the matter and could determine whether additional regulatory or legal steps are initiated.
For buyers, the issue is particularly relevant because advertisements and sales discussions may not provide the complete picture regarding statutory permissions, land records, and development restrictions.
Prospective purchasers should independently verify sanctioned plans, building permissions, land records, Development Plan status, commencement permissions, and other statutory approvals before entering into agreements.
Such verification should be undertaken directly with Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation and other competent authorities rather than relying exclusively on promotional material or assurances from any intermediary.
What Prospective Buyers Should Verify Before Booking
The reported starting price of ₹55 lakh for 2 BHK flats makes due diligence especially important for buyers who could otherwise commit significant portions of their savings.
Buyers should examine the project’s approval documents, sanctioned plans, relevant land records, commencement permissions, and applicable Development Plan provisions before making any booking or financial commitment.
They should also seek clarity regarding the status of the complaints, administrative notices, and any inquiry proceedings before signing agreements or transferring substantial amounts towards the proposed purchase.
The matter illustrates the importance of independently checking regulatory records when purchasing property, particularly where official authorities have reportedly raised questions about construction approvals.
Sprouts News understands that the allegations and administrative actions described here are based on the complaints and notices referenced in the supplied documents, rather than a final judicial determination.
The legal position and responsibility of the concerned parties will depend on the outcome of the official inquiry, municipal proceedings, and any subsequent legal or regulatory action.
For now, the key development is the reported seven-day notice issued by Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation, while the Collectorate and Lokayukta processes remain significant for determining what happens next.
Until the authorities complete their examination, prospective buyers would be prudent to exercise caution, independently verify every approval and seek professional legal advice before committing funds.
Sprouts News Senior Correspondent contacted Shivdas Chavla, the company’s manager, for his comment on the matter. He stated that the developer, Ajit Rochlani, would contact us directly regarding the issue. Sprouts News will publish the developer’s response upon receipt.
