Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP-RERA) has decided to organise the National Lok Adalat via online medium at Lucknow headquarters and regional office in Greater Noida on 10 July 2021 to resolve disputes of homebuyers.
The first Lok Adalat was slated to be on 10th April 2021, but was postponed keeping in mind the effects of the second wave of Covid-19.
Anand Shukla, legal advisor, UP-RERA has been appointed as the nodal officer for organising Lok Adalat.
Complaints filed before the authority under Section 31 of the RERA Act in which mutual agreement, conciliation is possible, or an application for agreement has been filed by a party will be taken up.
Prevailing and pending cases in front of the Conciliation Consultant of RERA in which settlement is possible on the basis of the reconciliation agreement or a party has filed an application for agreement will also be taken up.
Rajesh Kumar Tyagi, secretary, UP-RERA said, “Through Lok Adalat, homebuyers will get the opportunity for transparent amicable settlement and speedy disposal of their cases. The Lok Adalat will hear the same cases where settlement is possible on the basis of reconciliation agreement and the cases which have been pending for a long time.”
