PUNJAB & HARYANA HIGH COURT ISSUES NOTICE OF MOTION IN PETITION CHALLENGING DTCP “CHANGE IN BENEFICIARY INTEREST” POLICY And deficiencies in LC 4 aggrement
In CWP-10476-2026 titled Dr. Akhil Mahajan Vs State of Haryana & Another, the Hon’ble Punjab & Haryana High Court has issued Notice of Motion on challenge to the controversial DTCP policy relating to “Change in Beneficiary Interest”.
The petitioner has specifically challenged Clause 4(1)(A) of the policy, alleging that:
1. The policy has been framed under Section 9A of the HDRUA Act, 1975, whereas such substantive policy affecting rights of homebuyers and licence conditions could only be framed under Section 24A with proper legislative approval.
2. The impugned policy allegedly lacks statutory and legislative sanction and is therefore arbitrary, illegal and unconstitutional.
3. The petition further alleges that the policy renders Section 8 of the HDRUA Act, 1975 otiose by effectively granting veto powers to defaulting licencees/builders.
4. It has also been pointed out that the original LC-IV Agreement does not contain any clause permitting “change in beneficiary interest”, thereby depriving homebuyers of effective relief despite prolonged defaults by developers.
The petition raises serious questions concerning protection of homebuyers, legality of retrospective policy dilution, and accountability of regulatory authorities in Haryana real estate matters.
The matter is now listed before the Hon’ble High Court on 19.08.2026.
