Relevance of Section 32G: The provided sources do not explicitly detail the provisions of Section 32G of the RERA Act. However, Justice Chandrachud's judgments often emphasize the primacy of RERA over conflicting state laws and the importance of uniformity in real estate regulation. (General context from sources FORUM FOR PEOPLE’S COLLECTIVE EFFORTS (FPCE) VS STATE OF WEST BENGAL - Supreme Court, IREO GRACE REALTECH PVT. LTD VS ABHISHEK KHANNA - Supreme Court)
Supremacy of RERA: The Supreme Court, with Justice Chandrachud, has consistently held that the RERA Act overrides state laws and previous legislation, implying that provisions like Section 32G, if inconsistent, would be rendered subordinate or impliedly repealed upon RERA's enactment. For example, the judgment in FORUM FOR PEOPLE’S COLLECTIVE EFFORTS (FPCE) VS STATE OF WEST BENGAL - Supreme Court states that laws like WB-HIRA are repugnant to RERA and hence unconstitutional.
Jurisdiction and Consumer Rights: Several sources (IREO GRACE REALTECH PVT. LTD VS ABHISHEK KHANNA - Supreme Court, M/S. HUBTOWN LTD. & ANR. vs VIMAL BHANNUDAS VARAK - Consumer National, M/S. HUBTOWN LTD. & ANR. vs VIMAL BHANNUDAS VARAK - Consumer National) highlight the Court's stance that consumer protections under the Consumer Protection Act remain intact despite the enactment of RERA. Justice Chandrachud has emphasized that consumer forums retain jurisdiction to adjudicate complaints related to real estate services, including under schemes like Slum Rehabilitation, regardless of other laws.
Legal Hierarchy and Repeal: The Court has clarified that specific provisions or laws conflicting with RERA are impliedly repealed or stand overridden, as seen in FORUM FOR PEOPLE’S COLLECTIVE EFFORTS (FPCE) VS STATE OF WEST BENGAL - Supreme Court, which discusses the implied repeal of state legislation like WB-HIRA upon RERA’s enforcement.
Implication for Section 32G: While not explicitly discussed in the provided sources, based on Justice Chandrachud's jurisprudence, Section 32G of RERA likely pertains to specific regulatory or enforcement mechanisms within RERA. Given the Court's consistent stance, any conflicting state provisions or earlier laws would be subordinate to RERA, and provisions like Section 32G would be interpreted within the overarching framework of RERA's supremacy.
Judicial Approach: Justice Chandrachud's judgments underscore the importance of a uniform regulatory regime under RERA, emphasizing that all state laws inconsistent with RERA are impliedly repealed, ensuring the Act's effectiveness and uniformity in real estate regulation.
Main Takeaway: The Supreme Court, through Justice Chandrachud, affirms the primacy of RERA over other laws and emphasizes that provisions like Section 32G should be interpreted within this framework, ensuring that prior registrations, sanctions, and permissions granted under repealed or conflicting laws remain valid unless explicitly overridden.
