Tribunal Restores Residential Status of Orchid Turf View Project in Mahalaxmi
The Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal has restored the residential status of the Orchid Turf View project in Mahalaxmi, reversing a prior MahaRERA decision that allowed its deregistration and change to residential-cum-commercial use. The tribunal ruled that promoters, including Valor Estate and Prestige Group, misrepresented facts to obtain approval for changes without valid consent from allottees. A penalty was imposed on the promoters for these actions, affirming commitments made to homebuyers nearly two decades ago and rejecting the promoters' claims of sufficient consent.
