The Government of Telangana established the Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (REAT) seven years after the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, came into force on May 1, 2017. The Telangana Government appointed Justice A. Rajasheker Reddy (retd) as chairperson, Pradeep Kumar Reddy Palle as judicial member, and Chitra Ramchandran as technical and administrative member of the Telangana Real Estate Appellate Tribunal.
Before establishing the REAT, the Government of Telangana designated the Telangana State Value Added Tax Appellate Tribunal as the TS Real Estate Appellate Tribunal to manage affairs under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.
Section 43(1) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA), mandates that the appropriate government (either the state government or the central government in the case of union territories) must establish a Real Estate Appellate Tribunal within one year from the date the Act comes into force. This tribunal hears appeals from the decisions, directions, or orders of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) and the adjudicating officer.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, in its 2014 report on the implementation status of the Real Estate (Regulation & Development) Act, mentioned that there are 24 regular and 4 interim Real Estate Appellate Tribunals established in India. With its establishment, Telangana becomes a new addition to the list.
