Several Dhaka landowners and flat buyers are pursuing disputes over redevelopment projects linked to Dom-Inno Builders Limited.

Sufia Khatun, a former Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology teacher, said her family signed a redevelopment agreement for a Shantinagar plot in 2007.

She said the company was to complete a high-rise within three years, with the landowners receiving half of the flats.

Khatun alleged that the family home was demolished and that only several storeys of structural work were completed before construction stopped.

In the Shantinagar Escaperet dispute, an arbitration court cancelled the power of attorney granted to the company and imposed a Tk 197.2 million fine, the evidence states.

Dom-Inno appealed that decision to the district and sessions judge court, while Khatun sought dismissal of the appeal; an order was scheduled for August 2.

Shaila Rahman said her family contracted with the company in 2006 to build several high-rise buildings on a one-bigha Dhanmondi plot within three years.

Rahman alleged that, about 20 years later, only the structures of two buildings had been built and that prospective flat buyers had paid money before construction was completed.

Moinul Alam said six landowners left their Naya Paltan homes for rented accommodation after a March 2007 agreement to build five high-rise buildings.

Alam said that project had only two incomplete building structures after 19 years, while three planned buildings had not reached roof level.

An arbitration court also imposed a Tk 197.1 million fine and cancelled a landowners' power of attorney in the Panthapath Mujib Bhaban project dispute.

For the Motijheel Imperico project, an arbitration court imposed a Tk 110 million fine and ordered completion of the project.

The evidence also describes a four-year rigorous-imprisonment sentence against managing director Abdus Salam in a real-estate-law case over the Mohammadpur Alba project, with a warrant accepted by Banani police on July 21.
