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.

Christian who reconverts as Hindu SC will get quota benefits

Amid the controversy over “ghar wapsi”, the Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that a person who “reconverts” from Christianity to Hinduism shall be entitled to reservation benefits if his forefathers belonged to a Scheduled Caste and the community accepts him after “reconversion”. Citing articles by B R Ambedkar and James Massey, and reports by Mandal Commission and Chinappa Commission, the court said: “There has been detailed study to indicate the Scheduled Caste persons belonging to Hindu religion, who had embraced Christianity with some kind of hope or aspiration, have remained socially, educationally and economically backward.” The bench of Justices Dipak Misra and V Gopala Gowda held that a person shall not be deprived of reservation benefits if he decides to “reconvert” to Hinduism and adopts the caste that his forefathers originally belonged to just because he was born to Christian parents or has a Christian spouse. Expanding the scope of a previous Constitution benc...
