RERA Act already exclusively adjudicates complaints, they say
The Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority (K-RERA) has announced that it will hold Lok Adalats to settle cases pertaining to refunds, compensationand other issues. However, homebuyers are questioning the need for such an additional move when there is a full-fledged RERA Act to handle these cases.
In a February 9 notification, K-RERA has said under the guidance and directions of the Karnataka State Legal Services Authority, it will organise Lok Adalats to “settle/ compromise complaints/ cases relating to refund, delay in compensation, compensation permissible execution proceedings in disposed of cases or any other litigation which can be settled before the Lok Adalat” filed under the RERA Act 2016 and Karnataka Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules 2017.But home buyers are asking what the need for this is.
