The deregistration application was filed by the builder, Modella Textile Industries Limited, which claimed that all 107 homebuyers across the four projects had been refunded and their claims settled. Additionally, all accounts with the landowner had also been settled.
However, Godrej Properties Ltd opposed the deregistration, stating that they were not only the development manager but also registered as promoters on the MahaRERA website. They also claimed to be allottees/homebuyers for around 100 flats, and their rights as homebuyers needed to be addressed before deregistration.
Godrej further argued that as per MahaRERA circular No. 42 of 2023, homebuyers must be fully settled before deregistration can be approved. In this case, Godrej's claims as a homebuyer had not been fully resolved, and the money they received was accepted under protest.
The Authority observed that its role in a deregistration application is to stop managing the projects, protect the homebuyers' interest, and allow the builder to use the land effectively. However, it cannot decide on disputes between builders, as these are governed by contracts between them.
The Authority also noted that it has no jurisdiction to examine the contracts binding the builder and development manager or to address issues regarding their settlements, as these matters will be handled according to the contractual agreements and NCLT orders.
Despite Godrej's objections, the Authority deregistered the Godrej Alive A, B, C, and E projects, directing the builder not to advertise, market, book, sell, or offer for sale any flats in the project.
