GURUGRAM: The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRera) has issued a production warrant for a jailed director of a real estate firm to appear before its adjudicating officer in relation to a complaint from a homebuyer.
Adjudicating officer Rajender Kumar has instructed the superintendent of Bhondsi jail to present Punit Beriwala, director of Vipul Ltd, on March 13 at 2 PM for the case titled Anshul Deo vs Vipul Ltd.
Rera requested the jail to ensure his appearance via a production warrant after an official reported that Beriwala is currently in judicial custody for a different case.
The complaint from homebuyer Anshul Deo pertains to a dispute with Vipul Ltd concerning a real estate project. While specific details of the complaint were not disclosed, such issues usually pertain to project delays, compensation claims, or similar disputes between developers and buyers under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.
A production warrant is issued by a court or quasi-judicial authority to guarantee that a person already detained is brought forward for proceedings in a different matter. Officials stated that this warrant allows case proceedings to continue, even if the respondent is incarcerated for another criminal case.
The order indicated that Beriwala had previously faced an arrest warrant. During the hearing, the authority’s bailiff informed the forum that Beriwala had already been detained by the Economic Offences Wing (Gurgaon) in connection with an FIR filed on October 1, 2025, at the Shivaji Nagar police station.
The authority also specified that Beriwala need not be brought in on March 11, as initially scheduled, due to the presiding officer’s leave on that day.
