Appeals before the Karnataka REAT

Appeals against orders of the Authority or the Adjudicating Officer before the Karnataka Real Estate Appellate Tribunal, for allottees and promoters.

An order of the Authority or the Adjudicating Officer can be challenged before the Karnataka Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (REAT) under Section 44 of the RERA Act. The appeal period is short, and the pre-deposit condition for promoters under Section 43(5) makes early planning essential.

What this work involves

• Reading the impugned order for errors of law and fact, and identifying grounds of appeal
• Computing the limitation period and, where needed, preparing an application to condone delay
• Advising promoters on the pre-deposit required to maintain an appeal
• Drafting the memorandum of appeal, annexures and interim applications
• Arguing the appeal, and opposing it for the respondent
• Advising on a further appeal to the High Court of Karnataka under Section 58
