Authority rejects force majeure claim over land attachment and gives allottees the choice to continue or exit with delay interest.
Haryana RERA has ordered Chintels India to restore a previously cancelled plot after rejecting the developer’s force majeure claim related to land attachment. ET Realty reported the decision on 2026-09-14.
What happened
The authority found that Chintels India’s force majeure claim concerning the land attachment could not support cancellation of the plot.
Buyers had expressed a preference to proceed with the project instead of accepting a refund. RERA said the allottees could either continue with the agreement or exit it.
Those who continue also have the option to seek delay interest.
Why it matters
The order gives affected allottees a choice between retaining the agreement and leaving it. The restored plot also addresses the earlier cancellation by Chintels India.
Expert view
For buyers in this case, the practical decision is whether to continue with the project or exit the agreement. The available options stated in the decision include continuation, exit and delay interest for those who continue.
What buyers should check
Allottees should check which option they want to exercise: continuing with the agreement or exiting it. Buyers who continue should also check the option related to delay interest. The status of the previously cancelled plot should be checked against the RERA order.
