Tribunal Voids Unit Cancellations: What It Means for Buyers in Gurugram

What happened?

Hindustan Times reported that the Haryana Real Estate Appellate Tribunal in Panchkula overturned the cancellation of three units in the M3M 65th Avenue project in Sector 65, Gurugram. The bench was headed by Justice Rajan Gupta, with Dinesh Singh Chauhan as technical member. It held that the developer had to allow the buyers 90 days to pay what they owed and then send at least 30 days' notice before cancelling.

According to the report, the developer sent a final demand together with the possession offer on October 25, 2021. A pre-cancellation letter followed on November 25, and the units were cancelled on December 10, 2021, only 15 days later. The tribunal said this breached Clause 9.3 of the agreement and called the cancellation illegal and invalid.

The tribunal set aside the July 23, 2024 order of the Gurugram bench of Haryana RERA. It told Manglam Multiplex Pvt Ltd to hand over the units within 90 days, once the buyers pay outstanding dues and accounts are settled. HT noted that the project received its occupation certificate on September 30, 2021, against an agreed possession date of June 2022. In the lead appeal, the deal was worth ₹3 crore and the buyers had paid ₹1 crore.

Which sectors are affected?

• Gurugram residential
• Sector 65, Gurugram
• Homebuyers in default on instalments
• Developers using cancellation clauses
• Haryana RERA appeals

Potential impact

This is a ruling on three connected appeals, so it will not move prices or rents on its own. Its value is as a reference point. Buyers who face a cancellation in Gurugram can now point to a tribunal that enforced the notice and grace steps in the agreement. Developers may become more careful about following those steps before they cancel.

The effect on the wider market is uncertain. The order depends on the wording of this agreement and the sequence of letters here, and other cases could turn on different facts. The buyers must still pay what they owe, so the ruling gives them time and procedural protection. It does not waive their dues. Resales and distressed inventory may see fewer abrupt cancellations, but that is an expectation, not something the order guarantees.
