Builder Moves Court Fearing Buyers’ Agitation, Told To Grant Them Access

In Vijay Gupta vs Greenpolis Welfare Association, the the chairman of a real estate company approached a Delhi court seeking injunction against home buyers coming to his house or office following delay in possession of flats.

The case pertains to Vijay Gupta, chairman-cum-MD of Orris Infrastructure Ltd. The company, in arrangement with another company, started a residential project called Greenpolis in Gurgaon, Haryana.

The possession got delayed and the buyers got anxious. Their attempts at meeting Gupta as “Greenopolis welfare association” did not work out in a positive direction.

The association had informed Gupta on September 3 that the buyers are left with no other option but to hold peaceful agitation at his office and residence on September 9.

Calling the assembly of hundreds of buyers at his doorsteps illegal, Gupta came to court seeking an injunction saying the buyers might turn aggressive like what happened recently in Haryana’s Panchkula where thousands of supporters of Ram Rahim turned violent.

However, instead of grating an injunction to the builder, the court presided by senior civil judge Sunil Beniwal directed him to grant complete and unrestricted access to buyers, over 1,400 in number, and their counsel Piyush Singh for the purpose of trying to achieve a amicable solution and compromise.

The court noted his residential and official address too, where he would be meeting the buyers on Saturday.Singh said this is first of its kind order by a court.
