#RERA Enforcement

The Bombay High Court has ruled that submitting a fabricated affidavit in a concluded petition to circumvent a judicial undertaking amounts to fraud on the court, triggering prosecution under CrPC 340. The Tehsildar responsible was penalized with a six-month salary deduction, setting a precedent for holding public officials accountable for undermining judicial orders through procedural deceit.

MP High Court rules that the Collector is legally bound to enforce RERA orders within 14 days under Section 40 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. Failure to comply constitutes a breach of statutory duty, exposing authorities to writ petitions and mandamus. The ruling reinforces accountability in real estate regulatory enforcement for homebuyers and residents.
