Summary: The case considered whether a suit for a common law remedy, in particular, for permanent injunction could be sought before RERA or whether a civil court retains jurisdiction to entertain such a suit. The Court held that the equitable remedy of permanent injunction falls entirely outside the scope of the powers conferred under the RERA Act; hence the bar of jurisdiction of civil courts cannot be invoked to reject such a suit filed by the developer. For developers and promoters, this ruling reinforces their right to approach civil courts to protect their interests through permanent injunctions.
