Gurgaon: Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HRera) has issued a production warrant seeking the appearance of a jailed realty company director before its adjudicating officer in connection with an ongoing complaint filed by a homebuyer.Adjudicating officer Rajender Kumar directed the superintendent of Bhondsi jail to produce Vipul Ltd director Punit Beriwala before the forum on March 13 at 2pm in a matter titled Anshul Deo vs Vipul Ltd.Rera directed the jail authorities to ensure his apperance through a production warrant following an application from an official that informed the authority that Beriwala is currently in judicial custody in a separate case.The complaint before Rera was filed by a homebuyer — Anshul Deo — against Vipul Ltd regarding a dispute linked to a real estate project. While the details of the complaint were not elaborated in the order, such matters before the authority typically relate to issues including project delays, compensation claims or other 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 ensure that a person already in custody in another case is brought before it for proceedings in a separate matter. Officials said the production warrant ensures that the “proceedings in the case can continue even when a respondent is in custody in another criminal matter”.According to the order, the adjudicating officer had earlier issued a warrant of arrest against Beriwala. During the proceedings, the authority’s bailiff — an officer — informed the forum through the application that Beriwala had already been arrested by the economic offences wing (Gurgaon), in connection with an FIR dated Oct 1, 2025, registered at Shivaji Nagar police station. The authority clarified that the accused need not be produced on March 11, the earlier date for which the production warrant had initially been sought, as the presiding officer would be on leave that day.
