FormatCRUX Case Note
The Crux
The availability of a remedy under RERA does not by itself oust a homebuyer's statutory consumer remedy.
What the Court held
The Supreme Court held that remedies under consumer legislation can coexist with the RERA framework and rejected the contention that RERA makes the consumer forum unavailable.
Why it matters
The decision is important when choosing forum and relief in delayed-possession, refund and developer-homebuyer disputes.
