Forum For Peoples Collective Efforts ... vs The State Of West Bengal

The Supreme Court addressed the constitutional validity of the West Bengal Housing Industry Regulation Act (WB-HIRA) in light of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA). The court found that WB-HIRA was repugnant to RERA as it lacked Presidential assent, thus rendering it unconstitutional. The judgment emphasized the supremacy of central legislation over state laws in matters of concurrent jurisdiction, particularly in the housing sector.
