The bench further said, “On the next date, we will consider whether the proposal submitted deserves to be accepted or not after hearing counsel for the lenders as well as the homebuyers who have filed applications in the appeal. Any objection to the proposal may also be filed by all.”

Insolvency case is related to the real estate Project and the case is started after the project has not been completed within time, he said.
“Counsel for the Appellant submits that more than 500 possessions have been handed over. Be that as it may, the court’s primary concern is whether by any mechanism project can be completed, failing which, insolvency is the only alternative left,” NCLAT observed in its order.
On July 30, NCLAT had stayed the insolvency proceedings against Supertech Township Projects after it proposed to settle its disputes with Punjab and Sind Bank.
Earlier, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had also directed to initiate insolvency proceedings against Supertech Township Projects on a plea filed by Punjab & Sind Bank over a default of ₹216.92 cr.
This is the third group firm of Ram Kishore Arora-led realty major Supertech to go through the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP).
In March 2022, CIRP was initiated against Supertech Ltd.
