Bihar REAT Faces Quorum Issues, Questions Illegal Appointments

20 May 2024 CW Team

The Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (REAT) in Bihar is grappling with operational challenges primarily due to frequent lack of quorum during hearings, which is crucial for conducting official business and making binding decisions. This shortfall has significantly delayed the resolution of real estate disputes, impacting stakeholders seeking timely justice.

Additionally, concerns have surfaced regarding the legality of appointments to key positions within the tribunal. Criticisms suggest that some appointments may have bypassed proper procedural norms and legal requirements, potentially compromising the tribunal's impartiality and credibility.

Stakeholders, including legal experts and affected parties, are expressing apprehensions about these operational setbacks and appointment irregularities within the Bihar REAT. They stress the urgency of addressing quorum deficiencies and ensuring transparent, lawful tribunal appointments to uphold judicial standards and public trust.

Efforts to rectify these issues are essential for improving the efficiency and integrity of Bihar's real estate regulatory framework. By addressing quorum challenges and appointment legality concerns, authorities can enhance the tribunal's effectiveness in resolving real estate disputes fairly and efficiently.
