The Uttar Pradesh Aggrieved Home Buyers Rights Association has written a letter to the UP RERA chairman Rajive Kumar highlighting the issue. “There is substantial delay in publication of RERA orders. In some cases, complainants (homebuyers) have been waiting for more than four months for the RERA court’s order after final hearing of cases,” said Alok Singh, convenor, Uttar Pradesh Aggrieved Home Buyers Rights Association.

Legal experts are also of the opinion that RERA court’s orders must be published within a week of the last hearing of the case like the high court and Supreme Court orders.
