The appointments in RERA come amidst the High Court taking a stern view on the delay on appointment of RERA Chairman despite the recommendations being made by the selection committee on March 13.

The High Court had imposed a cost of Rs 5 lakh on the state government for this inordinate delay in appointment of RERA Chairman. The HC had directed the state government to issue the necessary notification regarding the appointment by June 25, failing which the Chief Secretary shall have to present himself in court. — TNS
