SC admits petitions of all homebuyers in Amrapali case; next hearing on January 31

The Supreme Court today admitted all petitions pertaining to embattled real estate firm Amrapali. The newly constituted two-member SC bench comprised of Justices Arun Mishra and M Shantangoudar denied all requests for interim relief. The next date of hearing on the case has been fixed for January 31. As per the apex court directive, Amrapali has also deposited 10 percent of the outstanding amount due with Greater Noida authority. There was confusion over the authority entitled to collect the dues. Legal sources had pointed out the project Amrapali Silicon City falls under the jurisdiction of Noida Authority, and not Greater Noida. The Amrapali petition was transferred from the bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra to the bench of Justices Arun Mishra and M Shantangoudar this week.
