    Disciplinary Action against Irresponsible Architect and Engineer


    Generally no one accuse officers holding higher, reputed and honourable post or the person in-charge of any group like a construction team. All barrages are discharged on the low post officers, workers (contractors in field of construction). Only they have to face growling clatter if any misshapen occurs. Senior Engineers, Architects and every person on the administrating chair are kept away from the disciplinary action. With time everything changes, and so change the rules and regulation. Now Architects have to follow some rules, regulations and guidelines provided by the Council of Architecture, and if found any professional misconduct they are obligated for the disciplinary action. All these action assist Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redress Commission in the assessment and reconnaissance of a case filed against Architect Anil Jalgaonkar and structural engineer R.D Magdum by a Goregaon resident Ganesh Shinde who appoint and accredit them to set up and shape his mansion. And in June 2004, Mumbai Suburban Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum found Anil Jalgaonkar and R.D Magdum guilty of the charges put on by the complainant Ganesh Shinde. They are accused of unauthorised abyss and intruding neighbouring plot illegally. As penalty they are ordered to refund fees received from their client Ganesh Shinde and directed them along with contractor together to pay him Rs 60000 towards compensation and Rs 5000 towards cost of litigation.

    Important facts:
    This case came in light when Ganesh Shinde received a proclamation from Mhada which warn him regarding the unauthorised abyss and all the illegal activities going on his plot on April 7, 1998. It also state that the contractor is intruding and sticking his nose in neighbouring plots. Shinde requested contractor to fill the pit but contractor completed partial work and demanded additional payment. This made Shinde to move Mumbai Suburban Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum where he finally got justice and took his money back.

    Mumbai Suburban Consumer Disputes Redress Forum investigates and observes that the two accused had never visited the site after their first visit. Following the rules regulation and guidelines of the Council of Architect, Commission come to know about the liabilities of architect and the disciplinary action they may have to face because of their professional misconduct. The Council of Architect at its 40th meeting provide guideline to the architects regarding their liabilities and the disciplinary action they may have to face in case of violation of any rule. Architects may come under such actions if they fail to meet the genuine required care and demands of the client and their construction sector; if the client had to face any damage because of their faulty duty and misconduct. Architects are also supposed to keep records of each detail, progress and activities held on the plot for minimum period of 4 years after issue of certificate of virtual completion.

    Concluding Note:
    According to Council of Architects, architects are bound to keep an eye on the contractor’s work and observe whether they are performing genuinely as per the sanction plan or not. Anil Jalgaonkar and R.D Magdum are found violating all these rules and hence face the consequences of their professional misconduct.

    MCD instructs blueprint for 33 wards development

    The regime for development of the municipal wards covering total 272 wards is started due to the requirements of the citizens. Paving the way for organized and streamlined development, MCD has instructed the architects in Delhi to prepare and present plans by the end of August for 33 wards. This has been decided by the MCD considering the Master Plan of Delhi 2021 which All 272 municipal wards in the city will be developed keeping in view the needs of their residents. Moving towards systematic development of wards, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has roped in architects and other experts to draft and submit plans for 33 wards by August-end. This is in keeping with the provisions of the Master Plan of Delhi 2021 (MPD) that needs the developmental bodies to make elaborated development plans including drainage, parking space, shopping complexes, roads and community centers.

    Architects experts from five elite institutes of architecture have been delegated the job to study the infrastructure which exists and prepare the plan of future development of wards. The five schools are School of Planning and Architecture, the architecture department at Jamia University, Indraprastha University, INTACH and the Association of Municipalities and Development Authorities.

    Under the 33 wards to be developed initially, the plans are invited for Guru Harkrishan Nagar, Nizamuddin, Mehrauli, Kondli, Ghadoli, Hauz Khas, Shahpur Jat and other 12 villages. As per a senior official, "The whole thought behind the development of the wards is to eradicate the problems of residents and to implement organized development. Post implementation of the master plan few years back, many residential areas have witnessed changes in the initial plans. The recommendation, in case of realizing the need for the change will be forwarded to the Centre".

    This development activity also phases out the MCD’s investment calculation for future. Presently, MCD counselors invest the money in area development as per their plan and no concrete plan. With the development plan, MCD can invest the money in phases to achieve ultimate developmental goal. As per AGK Menon, the convener and urban planner of INTACH Delhi Chapter “The solution of these problems are required to be identified on urgent level. We are taking an inverted pyramid approach and progressing up from the bottom of the problem that is from ward to Delhi’s master plan.

    According to the MCD official the panning architects institutions are being paid for drafting the plan almost 8 lakhs per ward. “Upon the preparation of the plans for 33 wards, they would be studied for their benefits for MCD. Post this study, the architect institutions would be asked to draft plan for rest of 239 wards”, as informed by Deep Mathur, Director, Press and Information.

    Chief Architect Writes Govt to Follow Haryana


    Bipin Sankhe, State Chief Architect has written a letter to Ratnakar Gaikwad, President of Council of Architecture (India) and Chief Secretary that state ought to adopt the strategy of Chandigarh and Haryana for providing work to private architects and to promote the state officials.
    According to the norms of Council of Architecture, only the government architectures can design the government buildings. Moreover, if the government takes a decision to outsource work to private architect for an important or special project, then the plans for the same have to be approved by the State Chief Architect. Nonetheless, this rule has been violated manifestly by regional offices of Maharashtra government and it has been awarding work to the private architecture firms without the prior approval of chief architect. As noted by Sankhe “the whole process of awarding the contract does not have any transparency”.
    The officials hold view that the government structures are sensitive and structures like jails and residential complexes of high profile people remains to be confidential. As stated by the anonymous government official “ If private architecture firms prepares the design of such sensitive places, then what remains the guarantee of confidentiality of design of such building?. In case of any incident, who should be held responsible? The government employees are determined to maintain the secrecy of designs of such high profile buildings; however the same is not the case with private firms. This matter requires some serious action from the authorities”.
    Sankhe has also mentioned in the letter that the priority is accorded to the officials with civil engineering rather than the ones with architectural degree. As per him “Council of Architecture (COA) guidelines have not been implemented by government successfully. We are better than others, in terms of experience and education, however are still not considered for the promotion by the government at the level of secretary. We have been the step-motherly treatment”.
    In the meantime, causing further embarrassment for government-selected architectural community, PWD has put forth its decision to amend and modify the circular issued by it earlier pertaining to the private architect’s appointment. As added by Sankhe “This is the violation of norms of COA as the requirement to amend the earlier circular does not arise. It simply does not make any point to delegate the powers of architectural officials to the civic engineers”.
