MahaRERA had even fined a homebuyer Rs 10,000 for complaining against a builder, against whom he had already got an order in a civil court
On October 30, the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority, dismissed a complaint of a home buyer, because the buyer had complained about the same in another forum. A week before that, MahaRERA had even fined a homebuyer Rs 10,000 for complaining against a builder, against whom he had already got an order in a civil court.
Experts point out that home buyers need to understand that they cannot approach MahaRERA when they already have a case going on in another forum or court.
In the recent case, where MahaRERA dismissed the complaint, the home buyer Mudhit Gupta had complained against Lavasa Corporation Ltd. He had alleged that he entered into an agreement with the developer in April 2010.
The apartment was to be handed over to him by April 2012, which hasn't happened till date. Moreover, the developer has put the revised date of completion on MahaRERA website as December 2020.
However, during the hearing the advocate for the developer pointed out that the plaintiff has filed a complaint on the same issue with the State Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission, Maharashtra, and an order has directed the parties to maintain status quo with regard to the said apartment.
The MahaRERA order points out that in case a complaint is already pending in a commission, the complaint filed with MahaRERA will not be tenable and shall stand dismissed. The order was passed by Gautam Chaterjee, Chairperson, MahaRERA.
