This directive comes as a significant boost for aggrieved homebuyers who have been struggling to get their issues resolved in a timely manner.
MahaRERA, established under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, has been instrumental in regulating the real estate sector in Maharashtra.
The authority's primary role is to protect the interests of homebuyers and ensure transparency, accountability, and fair practices in the real estate market.
Speaking on the matter, a senior official from MahaRERA stated, 'We have been receiving numerous complaints from homebuyers regarding delays and non-compliance by builders.
These warrant orders are crucial in ensuring that the errant builders are held accountable for their actions.

The Pune collector, Jitendra Dudi, has been instructed to prioritize the issuance of these warrant orders.
The collector's office has been tasked with ensuring that the necessary legal procedures are followed swiftly and efficiently.
This move is expected to speed up the recovery process for homebuyers who have been victims of builder malpractices.
Moreover, MahaRERA has also emphasized the need for stringent monitoring and follow-up to ensure that the orders are executed effectively.
The authority has set up a dedicated task force to oversee the process and provide regular updates on the progress.
Homebuyers in Pune have welcomed this initiative.
Suresh Kumar, a homebuyer who has been battling a builder for over two years, expressed his relief.
'This is a step in the right direction.
We have been fighting for our rights for a long time, and it's heartening to see the authorities taking action,' he said.
However, some legal experts have cautioned that while the expedited process is a positive step, it should not compromise the due process of law.
They have emphasized the importance of ensuring that all procedures are followed to the letter to avoid any legal challenges in the future.
In a related development, MahaRERA has also issued guidelines for builders to improve their compliance and transparency.
These guidelines include regular updates on project progress, timely delivery of possession, and adherence to quality standards.
Builders who fail to comply with these guidelines may face penalties, including fines and suspension of their projects.
