The Noida Authority has challenged the Allahabad High Court's directive to register flats in Lotus Boulevard Espacia and Lotus 300, citing INR 87 crore and INR 160 crore in unpaid dues by developers Cloud 9 and HPPL, respectively. Despite occupancy certificates, flat registrations remain stalled for buyers who have paid in full. HPPL is under insolvency proceedings, though the court clarified promoters are still liable for scrutiny. The court also directed the Enforcement Directorate to investigate alleged fund diversion by Cloud 9's promoters. While the Authority may escalate the matter to the Supreme Court, buyer groups argue that compliant homeowners should not suffer for developer defaults.Read more

The Allahabad High Court has reinstated 100 acres of land to the Royal Golf Link City project, overturning its cancellation by GNIDA. The court found GNIDA's revocation flawed, especially since the developer had paid INR 56 crore and was penalised for procedural lapses not of its own making. Crucially, GNIDA allotted land before fully acquiring it from farmers, creating legal confusion. The court ruled that allotments must follow proper acquisition, leading to the suspension of three senior GNIDA officials for negligence. The verdict is expected to influence future land-related disputes and highlights the judiciary's stance on upholding procedural integrity in public land deals.Read more

The 5-km Blue Line link, expected to benefit over 500,000 daily commuters from Indirapuram, Vasundhara, and Vaishali, was initially estimated at INR 1,517 crore in 2018.

An auction to sell four flats owned by Newtech Promoters & Developers in Greater Noida's La Galaxia project failed to attract any buyers, despite efforts by the Sadar tehsil to recover dues worth INR 5.7 crore under UP-RERA guidelines.

A Noida civil court has imposed a 100-meter protest-free zone around Jaypee Infratech's Sector 128 headquarters, following a plea by the company's new management, Suraksha Group. The interim order, issued ex parte, comes after homebuyers, awaiting possession since 2010-11, intensified demonstrations over stalled projects. The court limited the no-protest zone to 100 meters, rejecting Jaypee's request for a 500-meter buffer due to insufficient evidence. Homebuyers, represented by the JIL Real Estate Allottees Welfare Society (JREAWS), plan to challenge the order in the next hearing scheduled for July 15, asserting their right to peaceful protest and demanding timely project completion.Read more

Aerial surveys using drones have been initiated to identify new illegal constructions, with plans for a large-scale enforcement campaign.Read more
