The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) in a recent judgement ruled that a builder cannot take advantage of its own wrongdoing by claiming that his project was caught in between government affairs so that’s why there is a delay in delivering the flats to homebuyers.
This judgement was announced by MahaRERA while hearing a case where the homebuyer did not get possession of the flat within the due date mentioned in the sale agreement and the builder put the blame entirely on the government. The builder claimed that during 2022–2023, the planning jurisdiction for Wagholi area (where the project is situated) shifted between PMC and PMRDA, and thus it required revised plans and fresh approvals and hence the construction delay.
