Summary:
AHMEDABAD: A businessman, C P Jain, has been fighting for parking space for his car. In 2010, when Jain and his family moved into a residential society in Shahibaug, he found all the parking space occupied by cars, leaving no space for his. The case promptly went to Shahibaug police, which filed two reports claiming that there was “no proof of sale of parking space and that space was allotted by the society”. Some families that owned two or three cars, were allotted additional space marked with their car registration numbers.These additional parking slots, according to Jain, were allotted after members paid Rs 35,000 in cash to the society and Rs 1,000 as maintenance of the parking space to the society by cheque. However, just 241 members of the society accounted for all 368 car parking slots, leaving Jain and a few others to jostle for space in the common area..
