HC directs GB Nagar DM to executerecovery certificates against builder

Prayagraj: Taking note of the grievance of the home buyers, the Allahabad high court has directed the district magistrate of Gautam Budh Nagar to execute recovery certificates issued by Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) against a builder, preferably within a period of three months.
Disposing a writ petition filed by Rajendra Singh and four others, a division bench headed by Justice Sunita Agarwal directed the DM to decide the matter preferably within three months.
These five petitioners were mostly from the Delhi-NCR, who were neither getting their ready-to-move flats nor the money paid to Supertech Private Limited, the petition says.
According to counsel for the petitioners, Sandip Kumar, his clients took home loans from banks, kept paying its EMIs, while residing in rented accommodations without any hope of ever getting their flats from the builder.
Aggrieved over it, the petitioners got recovery certificates issued by the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) almost a year ago, but they are lying unexecuted, the counsel for the petitioner added.
The court, after hearing the parties, passed the above order, observing,"Looking to the innocuous prayer made in the writ petition, without entering into the merits of claim of the petitioner, the present writ petition is being disposed of with the direction the district collector/district magistrate, Gautam Buddh Nagar, to conduct the proceeding for execution of the recovery certificate issued by the RERA and take necessary steps in furtherance of the same, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of three months from the date of submission of copy of this order”.
