Supreme Court Sets Aside High Court Order Quashing ₹2.27 Crore RERA Penalty
Case Title : The Madhya Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority v. M/s Malwa Vanaspati and Chemicals Co. Ltd. & Anr.
Case Number : Civil Appeal arising out of SLP (C) No. 19520 of 2024
Citation : 2026 LLBiz SC 80
The Supreme Court has recently set aside a Madhya Pradesh High Court order that had quashed a Rs. 2.27 crore penalty imposed by the Madhya Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MPRERA) on an industrial project developer for non-registration of its project.
A bench of Justice Pamidighantam Sri Narasimha and Justice Alok Aradhe held that “the approach adopted by the High Court is impermissible in law.”
The court noted that the High Court was exercising judicial review in the context of entertaining a challenge to an order of the Madhya Pradesh Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (MPRAT), which had dismissed the developer's appeal for failure to comply with the mandatory pre-deposit requirement under the statute.
“There was no occasion for the High Court to set aside the penalty which was imposed in this context,” the Bench observed.

Location Of Project Immaterial For RERA Applicability, Odisha REAT Dismisses Developer's Appeal
Case Title : Shree Infra Properties Pvt. Limited v. Divya Narayan Panda
Case Number : OREAT Appeal No. 53 of 2021
Citation : 2026 LLBiz REAT (OD) 10
The Odisha Real Estate Appellate Tribunal has reaffirmed that the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 applies to ongoing housing projects regardless of whether they are located within municipal limits or in gram panchayat areas.
The ruling came while dismissing an appeal filed by Shree Infra Properties Pvt. Ltd.
The Bench of Chairperson Justice P. Patnaik and Members S.K. Rajguru and Dr. B.K. Das, relying on the Supreme Court's decision in Newtech Promoters and Developers Pvt. Ltd. v. State of U.P., observed:
“The plea raised for the first time in the appeal however shows the appellant's misconception of law as the applicability of the RERA Act is no way relevant to the location of the real estate project. Section 3 of the Act and the Newtech Promoters case law make it clear that, real estate projects, that are ongoing on the date of commencement of the RERA Act and for which completion certificate has not been issued will come under its purview. The place where a real estate project is developed is immaterial."
Maharashtra REAT
Society Members Can File RERA Complaint Against Developer Despite Not Being Allottees: MahaREAT
Case Title : Mr. Sandeep Kolge & Ors. v. Peninsula Land Limited
Case Number : Appeal No. AT001000000144297 of 2023
Citation : 2026 LLBiz REAT (MH) 11
The Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (MahaREAT) has held that members of a cooperative housing society forming part of a larger layout can maintain a complaint against a developer even if they are not allottees in the newly registered phase of the project.
A Bench comprising Members Shri Shriram R. Jagtap and Dr. Rajagopal Devara set aside the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) order, which had dismissed the complaint as not maintainable, and held that such members fall within the expression “any aggrieved person” under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA).
The Tribunal recorded:
“Section 31 makes it clear that any aggrieved person may file complaint with the Authority for violation or contravention of the provisions of RERA Act. The appellants/complainants being members of the housing society within the larger layout developed in different phases are aggrieved persons and therefore the complaint is maintainable.”
MREAT Stays MahaRERA Recall Order After Finding Two Digitally Signed Versions Of Same Order
Case Title : Pramod Ashtekar & Anr. v. Nirmal Lifestyle Limited & Ors
Case Number : AT00601567 of 2025
Citation : 2026 LLBiz REAT (MH) 9
The Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (MREAT) recently stayed a recall order passed by the MahaRERA Chairperson, holding that inherent powers cannot be exercised where the statute provides an express appellate remedy. The Tribunal also raised serious concerns over the existence of two digitally signed versions of the same order in a single complaint.
A Tribunal comprising Chairperson Shri S.S. Shinde and Member Shri Shrikant M. Deshpande passed the interim order in an appeal filed by homebuyers Pramod Ashtekar and another, staying the recall order and observing that the matter warranted investigation. The Bench held: “integrity of judicial proceedings is of paramount importance to ensure trust of the litigants and public on the judicial forums".

Haryana RERA Orders Developers To Pay ₹40.16 Lakh To Homebuyers For Lost Property Appreciation
Case Title : Mridula Parti & Anr. v. Microtek Infrastructures Private Limited & Anr.
Case Number : Complaint No. 1369-2025
Citation : 2026 LLBiz RERA (HR) 30
The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRERA) has recently directed Microtek Infrastructures Pvt. Ltd. and Deepanshu Projects Pvt. Ltd. to pay Rs 40.16 lakh to homebuyers towards loss of property appreciation, even though the buyers had earlier been granted refund of the deposited amount.
Referring to Section 18(1) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, the Officer held that when the promoter fails to hand over possession as per the agreement for sale, “apart from refund of the amount, allottees-complainants are entitled for compensation.”
The officer referred to the residential real estate market in Gurugram. The order records that average housing prices surged by nearly 160% between January 1, 2017 and October 29, 2024.
It observed, "It can be presumed that amount paid by complainants to the respondents in purchase of subject unit, if was invested in some other similar project, it would have at-least doubled till the date of order of refund.”

It further held that the association's demand of Rs. 32,98,239.78 towards maintenance charges was “not maintainable.”

Ltd. to reconcile and transfer corpus and maintenance funds to the registered maintenance society of the Raheja Vistas project in Hyderabad, complete pending safety infrastructure, and hand over key project documents.
The order was passed by a bench comprising Chairperson Dr. N. Satyanarayana and Members K. Srinivasa Rao and Laxmi Narayana Jannu.
The Authority held that phase-wise RERA registration is permissible where a project is genuinely approved and executed in phases, and declined the request to treat the entire development as a single registration.
