The Bombay High Court recently set aside a 2019 order by a former MahaRERA chairman, on a flat buyer's petition that he and his family were not given a fair hearing. The petitioner had paid towards flats at a housing project in Vasai, had sought refund of the money along with stamp duty and registration charges. The HC order paved the way for the petitioner getting relief from the Adjudicating Officer.

The counsel for the housing regulator sought time to take instructions on the submissions made by the petitioner. He told the court that the petitioner would be heard by MahaRERA. The regulator will now restore the status of the impugned order to a file.
