Real Estate Regulation Act (RERA) is the new law for buyers in case of delay in possession by builders. It was introduced to address grievances of buyers and to bring transparency and accountability in country’s real estate sector. The Act provides for ways to tackle real estate problems if the builder if he delays possession or cheats buyers.

 

The legal remedies available to the buyer are two-fold:

  • File Complaint to Regulatory Authority under RERA through a property lawyer in India if builder delays possession;

  • File a complaint in the consumer court to recover money with interest.

The Real Estate Regulatory Authority or the adjudicating officer of the Regulatory Authority is a statutory tribunal created by the RERA to bring accountability and transparency in the Real Estate sector in India.

The changes that have been envisaged under RERA are massive for putting accountability on the timelines of builders. The promoter’s promise will now have a legal standing to it. At the time of the signing of the final contract, the promoter is required to provide all the documents, as well as a declaration, supported by an affidavit stating the time period within which the project or the specific phase will get completed.

Builders pre-launch the flats without registering their site plan and cheat buyers by fleeing away with the money or abandoning the site or using the funds for construction of some other site. RERA prohibits this practice of misuse of the buyer’s trust. Further, the lack of any authority over the builders mandating them to get their site plan registered or to check accountability gave them autonomous power. Occupancy certificate and possession certificate under RERA, provides for an accountability regime for unscrupulous buyers.

Court Cases Are Public Records

Court judgments are public records. If a case is heard by a court of India, no one can argue that the opinion should not be published and viewable by all, unless the court itself expressly says it cannot be published or a law says it cannot be.

The decisions of the Supreme Court are the law of the land, and all citizens can read their decisions. Not just the Supreme Court, courts today are publishing their judgments and orders on the Internet. If you search for a current court case from judis.nic.in or a high court website or the district court websites, you will find details of that case directly from the courts.

Who gave permission to JCVIndia to publish court cases?

As mentioned above, Court cases are public records and we do not need anyone’s permission to publish court cases. The Section 52(1)(q)(iv) of the Copyright Act states that publication of court judgments does not constitute an infringement of Copyright.

We will not remove or modify any public documents without an order of the court competent to do so.

Remember, there are many, many copies of these court decisions in existence, and JCVIndia or JCVIndia.com has just one of those many copies.
