The Supreme Court examined the validity of the registration of a housing association under Section 6 of the Haryana Registration and Regulation of Societies Act, 2012, and its standing to file consumer complaints against a builder for delays and non-compliance. The Court analyzed whether such associations, formed by allottees, have the legal standing to initiate consumer disputes and whether the consumer forum's jurisdiction extends to disputes involving builders and housing societies. The Court held that the association, being registered under the relevant state Act and representing allottees, has the locus standi to file complaints, and the consumer forum has jurisdiction over such disputes. The judgment clarifies the rights of housing associations and the scope of consumer protection laws in real estate development cases.
