Imperia Structures Ltd. v. Anil Patni
Court's Decision & Legal Precedent
RERA does not oust the Consumer Protection Act. RERA s.79 bars civil-court suits in respect of matters the RERA authority is empowered to determine, but s.88 says other laws are not barred. CPA 2019 s.100 (Act not in derogation; analogue of 1986 s.3) preserves an additional forum. A homebuyer's consumer complaint remains maintainable. Map 2019 s.100/s.2, not 1986 s.12 (complaint section of the repealed Act).
On this section: CPA is not in derogation of other laws (2019 s.100; analogue of 1986 s.3). RERA is an additional, not exclusive, forum.

Ireo Grace Realtech Pvt. Ltd. v. Abhishek Khanna
Court's Decision & Legal Precedent

On this section: CPA is in addition to RERA (s.100); homebuyers are not forced to elect only one forum.
