Architects and structural engineers can no longer remain
aloof when it comes to owning responsibility for unauthorised
constructions, and can be hauled up if they fail to discharge their bounden
duty. The Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission upheld an
order of a city consumer forum directing architect Anil Jalgaonkar and
structural engineer RD Magdum to refund
the fees received from Goregaon resident Ganesh Shinde, who hired them for
constructing his house. They also have to pay
Rs. 20,000 each to Shinde towards compensation.
