According to the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006, refuge areas are mandatory in high-rise buildings to provide a safe space for occupants in case of an emergency. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the refuge area is not demolished without proper authorization.
Regarding your question about whether a developer can demolish the existing refuge area of a building which has received partial OC and members staying in the building, it is unclear what you mean by “partial OC”. However, if the refuge area is part of the approved building plan and has been constructed as per the regulations, then it cannot be demolished without proper authorization from the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM).
It is advisable to consult with a legal expert who can guide you through the process of ensuring that all legal requirements are met and ensure that the safety of residents staying in the building is not compromised.
