Supreme Court rejects Parsvnath proposal, demands stronger homebuyer relief
Parsvnath Developers has many customers who paid for homes but are still waiting for them.
The company gave the Supreme Court a plan for handing over homes or returning money.
The judges said the plan could delay the customers’ cases instead of solving them.
They allowed the company to submit a different plan.
The new plan must address all homebuyers’ claims, including refunds and compensation for delays.
If it does not, the court may appoint a powerful committee to manage the matter.
The court also kept the company’s bank accounts frozen.
One example involved buyers who paid for a Gurugram flat but waited many years without receiving it or getting their money back.
The Supreme Court rejected Parsvnath Developers’ proposal on flat possession and repayment.
The bench said the proposal appeared designed to delay possession and repayment to homebuyers.
Parsvnath was allowed to submit a fresh proposal covering all affected allottees and homebuyers.
The court warned it could appoint a high-powered committee if the new proposal fails to satisfy claims.
The bench also declined an Insolvency Resolution Professional’s request to operate a frozen bank account.
