• According to a statement by Trinity, the realty firm behind the project, the complaint, which attempted to question the legal standing of the high-rise development in Sector 88B, Gurugram, was viewed by industry insiders as reflective of a troubling trend in the region: the misuse of regulatory platforms through false or motivated complaints, often driven by competitor rivalry or external pressure tactics

• Responding to the ruling, a Trinity spokesperson said the company was proud to operate in a system where institutions like HRERA upheld fairness and legality

Gurugram Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) Chairman Arun Kumar has issued an order to the planning branch of the authority to make sure that public notices are issued in newspapers for the registration of projects.

This will help prospective buyers in many ways, including making the registration process more transparent and robust.

The RERA Chairman said the move validated the assertions of promoters, highlighted the accountability of RERA, prevented undue delays, informed buyers about the registration status and indirectly affected advertisements.

In a city like Gurugram, a booming real estate zone, promoters and real estate agents ran syndicates, selling projects at pre-launch stages — an offence under the RERA Act (2016), he added.

Many premium projects had been fully sold by promoters before RERA registration, he noted, stating that, now, public notices issued by promoters in this regard would help potential buyers not be misled by real estate agents.

Buyers would be empowered through the notices to get exact registration details, he said.

The notices must include encumbrances such as high-tension lines, cremation grounds and lack of basic infrastructure, Kumar said, noting that, in the past, many allottees had to struggle after being misled in this regard.
