Real Estate Disputes
Delayed possession, refund and specific performance claims, and proceedings before the RERA authorities.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016 gave allottees a forum that works to a timetable, and gave promoters obligations that are recorded and enforceable. Most disputes now turn on three documents: the agreement for sale, the registered project particulars, and the declared date of completion.
We act for allottees seeking possession, refund with interest, or compensation for delay, and for promoters defending those claims and pursuing disputes with contractors and landowners. Proceedings run before the RERA authorities and appellate tribunals, and before the consumer commissions where that route serves better.
Choice of forum matters more here than in most practices. RERA, the consumer commissions and the NCLT under the Code each offer different relief on different timelines, and an allottee can lose the strongest of them by electing the wrong one first.
