This post covers RERA Appeal High Court Chandigarh Panchkula Gurugram wherein after RERA Appellate Tribunal Order of Panchkula Gurugram Authority is challenged.
After RERA Panchkula-RERA Gurugram order, first Appeal lies to Haryana Real Estate Appellate Tribunal and of RERA Punjab Authority to Real Estate Appellate Tribunal, Punjab under Section 44 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. This section allows any person or entity aggrieved by an order or decision of the RERA Authority or an adjudicating officer to file an appeal within 60 days.
RERA APPEAL IN HIGH COURT
If still not satisfied with the order of Haryana Real Estate Appellate Tribunal and of RERA Punjab Authority to Real Estate Appellate Tribunal, Punjab at Chandigarh, you may then appeal to Punjab and Haryana High Court under Section 58, to be treated as RSA, Regular Second Appeal before the High Court bench. The High Court may accept an appeal after the 60-day period if the appellant can show a sufficient cause for the delay. No appeal is possible if the REAT’s decision was reached with the mutual consent of both parties.

One must know Chandigarh HighCourt RSA as RERA Second Appeal it to be based on the grounds specified in Section 100 of the Civil Procedure Code.
Substantial Question of Law in RERA Appeals
Section 100 of the CPC provides that the High Court can hear an appeal from a decree passed in appeal by a Court subordinate to the High Court if it is specified that the case involves substantial question of law. The meaning of the expression ‘substantial question of law’ is no longer res integra. Yet, reference is being made to Nazir Mohamed Vs. J. Kamala and others, 2020 (3) RCR (Civil) 684 wherein after examination of precedents, it has been held:-
“32. To be “substantial”, a question of law must be debatable, not previously settled by the law of the land or any binding precedent, and must have a material bearing on the decision of the case and/or the rights of the parties before it, if answered either way.”
Substantial Question of Law as framed in RERA Appeal 19-2020, decided on 27.11.2020 is below, just for reference:
(a) Whether the Authority was justified in reducing the period of registration despite the statutory prescription mentioned under Section 5(3) of the Act.
(b) Whether the appellant was entitled to grant of an opportunity of hearing before the period of registration was reduced.
Similarly for every RERA Appeal this has to be formulated afresh by the HighCourt RERA Lawyers and Advocate of Punjab and Haryana practicing at Chandigarh.

Punjab and Haryana High Court and RERA Appeals
Initial Appeal: Appeals against orders from the RERA Authority are first heard by the Real Estate Appellate Tribunal of that state (Punjab or Haryana).
Second Appeal to High Court: A further appeal can be filed with the Punjab and Haryana High Court against the decision of the Appellate Tribunal.
Grounds for Appeal: A typical basis for a High Court appeal is a “substantial question of law” that has a material bearing on the case.
Pre-deposit Requirement: Promoters appealing to the Appellate Tribunal (and subsequently the High Court) must deposit a pre-determined amount as per the proviso to Section 43(5) of the Act. This requirement cannot be waived by the Appellate Tribunal or the High Court.
High Court Jurisdiction: The High Court can hear appeals on a substantial question of law and may not issue directions that contradict the Act, such as waiving the pre-deposit requirement, as it does not have the powers of the Supreme Court under Article 142 of the Constitution.
