Clove Legal has successfully obtained a landmark order from the Hon’ble Bombay High Court directing MahaRERA to implement structured guidelines governing its hearing procedures and functioning framework.
In Mayur Desai v. State of Maharashtra (Writ Petition (L) No. 11502 of 2025), the Court took cognizance of the procedural inefficiencies and lack of transparency in MahaRERA’s functioning, particularly its continued reliance on virtual-only hearings post-pandemic. Emphasizing that access to justice is a constitutional right, not a technical convenience, the Court issued binding directions to MahaRERA for:
- Restoration of hybrid hearings (physical + virtual) within 4 (four) weeks;
- A mechanism for urgent listings and effective execution of orders of MahaRERA;
- Transparent cause-lists, pronouncement of orders, and grievance redressal processes;
- Functional and accessible communication channels for litigants and lawyers.
This judgment significantly strengthens procedural equity for homebuyers and stakeholders in the real estate sector. It is a landmark decision that reaffirms the judiciary’s commitment to transparency, efficiency, and inclusive access.
We remain committed to championing transparency, access, and procedural integrity across regulatory and judicial platforms.
