The High Court of Karnataka has directed the State government to expeditiously appoint chairperson and members to Karnataka Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (KREAT), which has become non-functional due to these vacant posts.
Also, the court pointed out that plethora of cases, which are actually to be filed before the KREAT against the decision of the Karnataka Real Estate Authority (RERA), are being filed before the High Court as KREAT has become non-functional from past few months.
Justice M. Nagaprasanna issued the direction on a petition filed in January 2024 by Mathew Thomas of Bengaluru.
