Defended a prominent Mumbai builder against 50+ homebuyer complaints at MAHARERA, proving force majeure delays and securing dismissal of penalty proceedings.
Our client, a reputed real estate developer, faced multiple complaints at MAHARERA for project delays. Homebuyers were demanding refunds with interest and penalty proceedings were initiated.
We demonstrated that delays were caused by factors beyond the builder's control: unexpected archaeological findings during excavation, revised municipal regulations, and COVID-19 lockdowns. We provided comprehensive documentation of force majeure events and the builder's good faith efforts to complete the project.
MAHARERA accepted our submissions and dismissed all complaints. The project was granted a revised completion timeline, and homebuyers agreed to accept possession. This case established important precedents for force majeure defenses in RERA proceedings.
