The High Court's order stems from a case where homebuyers were unable to recover losses due to a delayed project. The court found that without naming the promoters and directors as respondents, the legal process was hindered. This highlights a common tactic employed by some developers declaring bankruptcy for the company while the promoters remain unaffected. In some cases, these promoters establish new companies under different names, evading accountability.
The inclusion of promoters and directors in legal proceedings is crucial in ensuring accountability and maximizing the chances of recovering losses. Homebuyers are advised to conduct thorough due diligence before investing in a property, including verifying the credentials of the developer, the project's legal status, and the financial health of the company. Obtaining information about the promoters and directors involved in the project is essential.
The Karnataka Home Buyers Forum has welcomed the High Court's order and urged homebuyers to follow the court's guidelines. The forum emphasizes the importance of including the names of promoters and directors in legal complaints to safeguard the interests of homebuyers.
This development marks a significant step towards protecting the rights of homebuyers and ensuring greater transparency in the real estate sector. As the number of real estate projects continues to rise, it is imperative for buyers to be aware of the potential risks and take necessary precautions to protect their investments.
In conclusion, the High Court's order is a major victory for homebuyers who have been struggling to recover their losses due to delayed or defaulted projects. By including promoters and directors in legal proceedings, homebuyers can ensure that they are held accountable for any wrongdoing.
