BHOPAL| JABALPUR: Collector Bhopal, Kaushlendra Vikram Singh, apprised the Court of Justice A K Singh of the MP High Court that the property of the builder, against whom the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) issued an RCC for the recovery of Rs 20 lakh in 2020, was seized and would be auctioned on March 20 to recover the amount due. Following the RERA order, Arvind Verma from Bhopal went to the HC after the RCC was not executed. The district collector was asked to execute the RCC by RERA. Hearing his petition, the HC also directed the collector of Bhopal to execute the RCC within 60 days of the order.Verma moved a contempt petition after the time limit set by the court expired without compliance with the court order. The court, again giving 30 more days to the Bhopal collector for execution of the RCC, warned that the petitioner should not file a contempt petition a second time for non-compliance, or else the litigation cost for the two contempt petitions would be recovered from the district collector. Yet, the court order was not complied with, and Verma returned to court with the second contempt petition. The court asked for the personal presence of the district collector in the previous hearing of the case on March 12, but he moved an application in the court seeking an exemption from appearance on the pretext of some important official work in Delhi. When counsel for the petitioner pointed out that Singh appeared in another court through video conferencing the same day, the court instructed the Bhopal collector to appear in court on March 19 if the order was not complied with by then.On Wednesday, Singh informed the court about the seizure of the builder’s property for recovery of dues and said it would be auctioned on Thursday. The court, exempting him from personal appearance, asked the collector to let the court know about the auction and its outcome. Advocates Dhruv Verma and Kapil Duggal appeared in the case for the petitioner.
