SC rejects Parsvnath’s possession, refund plan, gives builder two weeks to resolve homebuyers’ claims

The CJI-led Bench said the proposal appeared to delay the matter and warned it could appoint a panel to take over assets, complete projects and refund 2,000-plus allottees.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court rejected a proposal by Parsvnath Developers detailing phased possession or refund with interest to homebuyers, saying it appeared to be another device to delay the matter. A Bench comprising CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi was hearing petitions against Parsvnath and subsidiaries over delayed Delhi-NCR projects.

The Bench said the builder’s affidavit did not satisfy allottees or homebuyers of the companies. It warned that unless a proposal addressing the claims of all allottees was submitted, it would be constrained to appoint a High-Powered Committee to take over responsibilities.

The CJI asked the company to file a fresh proposal in two weeks covering 2,000-plus allottees, with timelines for construction, delivery and refunds. It warned failure could lead to a panel headed by a retired SC judge taking over assets, completing projects, disbursing refunds and considering attachment of directors’ personal assets. Matter will be heard after two weeks.
