”The State law has encroached upon domain of Parliament,” the Supreme Court verdict said
The Supreme Court on May 4 struck down West Bengal’s law on regulating the real estate sector in the State, and said it was “unconstitutional” as the statute encroached upon the Centre’s Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act,. A Bench of Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and M.R. Shah said the West Bengal Housing Industry Regulation Act (HIRA), 2017 is more or less identical to the Centre’s RERA and hence repugnant to Parliament’s law. ”The State law has encroached upon domain of Parliament,” the verdict said.
