WB Housing Industry Regulation Act 2017 is repugnent to RERA and unconstitutional- SC 04/05/2021
WB-HIRA is repugnant to the RERA, and is hence unconstitutional. We also hold and declare that as a consequence of the declaration by this Court of the invalidity of the provisions of WB-HIRA, there shall be no revival of the provisions of the WB 1993 Act, since it would stand impliedly repealed upon the enactment of the RERA. Hence, in exercise of the jurisdiction under Article 142, we direct that the striking down of WB-HIRA will not affect the registrations, sanctions and permissions previously granted under the legislation prior to the date of this judgment
No rule can be struck down merely because it has been wrongly interpreted by the Government so as to defeat the object of advancing the cause of higher merit.
