Bombay High Court directs Maharashtra RERA to restore physical hearing option

The Bombay High Court has directed the "Maharashtra RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) to restore the physical hearing option." The court observed that while digital hearings offer convenience, they might not be suitable or accessible for all parties, particularly those unfamiliar with technology or requiring detailed document presentation. This ruling emphasizes the importance of providing both online and offline hearing modalities to ensure fair access to justice for all litigants before the regulatory body, thereby balancing technological advancements with practical accessibility considerations.
