The Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (REAT) in Bihar is facing operational challenges due to a lack of quorum, raising concerns over its ability to adjudicate cases effectively. Additionally, the tribunal has expressed apprehensions regarding the legality of certain appointments made within its structure.

Quorum issues have emerged as a significant impediment to the functioning of the Bihar REAT, hindering its capacity to hear and resolve disputes related to the real estate sector. The absence of the requisite number of members has resulted in delays and disruptions in the tribunal's proceedings, impacting the timely dispensation of justice.

Furthermore, the tribunal has raised questions regarding the legitimacy of certain appointments made within its ranks. It has voiced concerns over potential violations of regulatory norms and procedural irregularities in the appointment process, casting doubts on the credibility and integrity of the tribunal's operations.

The Bihar REAT plays a crucial role in adjudicating disputes between stakeholders in the real estate industry, ensuring adherence to regulatory frameworks and safeguarding the interests of consumers and developers alike. However, the current challenges confronting the tribunal threaten to undermine its effectiveness and erode public trust in its functioning.

Efforts are underway to address the issues plaguing the Bihar REAT, including measures to rectify the quorum deficiencies and investigate the legality of appointments. It is imperative for the authorities to take prompt action to restore the tribunal's credibility and ensure the swift resolution of pending cases in the interest of justice and transparency in the real estate sector.
