Will Supreme Court UP RERA judgment empower the regulator?

The real estate market of Uttar Pradesh in general and Noida-Greater Noida in particular is hotbed of consumer grievances, ranging from delay to default and unmet promises to builder’s high handedness.

Supreme Court demolition order against Supertech twin towers won’t change market realities

A closer look at the way the sector operates indicates that the ground realities are different than what is being anticipated post this historic judgment. The Supreme Court order has hence raised more questions than settled the answers that could goad the sector to best practices in the business. The court order touches upon some of the grey areas like “long & expensive legal battle” that the buyers have to go through. It nevertheless doesn’t offer any solution for the same. The fact remains that the long & expensive legal battle is the primary cause of home buyers’ suffering in silence at the hands of the builders.

Has changes to land laws in J&K changed ground realties?

The changes in the land laws in Jammu & Kashmir has mostly been debated from the political standpoint.
