SC strikes down WB law on regulating real estate, holds it unconstitutional
The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down West Bengalâs law on regulating the real estate sector in the state, and said it was âunconstitutionalâ as the statute encroached upon the Centreâs Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act,.
A bench of justices D Y Chandrachud and M R Shah said the West Bengal Housing Industry Regulation Act (HIRA), 2017 is more or less identical to the Centre s RERA and hence repugnant to Parliament s law.
âThe state law has encroached upon the domain of Parliament,â the verdict said.
