The previous management of Realty Firm Supertech Limited informed the Supreme Court on Wednesday that it had filed a settlement proposal with the financial creditor Union Bank of India to settle the arrears with the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT).

Senior advocate S Ganesh told a bench of Justices DY Chandrachur, Surya Kant and PS Narasimha that they had submitted the proposal in favor of the previous management and asked the court to direct the NCLAT to consider it.

The bench said, “You kept it. They (NCLAT) will consider it. We should not issue any such directive for consideration. It is not right for us to give them instructions. “

Initially, Amicus Curiae Advocate Gaurav Agarwal told the court that the matter was scheduled for hearing on May 17 before the NCLAT but it was adjourned.

The counsel appearing on behalf of the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) appointed by the NCLT submitted that the previous management had issued checks to several home buyers, which have now been dishonored due to insufficient funds and they have now initiated legal proceedings against it.

The bench, then exercising its powers under Article 142 of the Constitution, extended the period of limitation till further order.

Earlier, on May 6, the troubled real estate chief Supertech Limited informed the apex court that the financial creditors were in talks with the Union Bank of India to resolve the dispute over the payment of arrears.

The apex court was further informed by Agrawal that the company Supertech Limited did not have sufficient funds in its account to reimburse home buyers for demolishing the Twin Towers in the Noida Emerald Court project.

Amicus had earlier said that the Twin Towers had a total of 711 home buyers out of which the company had settled 652 home buyer claims.

On February 28, NOIDA authorities informed the apex court that the demolition work of a pair of Supertech 40-storey towers had begun in its Emerald Court project, which was found to be illegal for violating the rules, and would be completely demolished.

Authorities said in a status report that after the massive structure was demolished, the entire wreckage would be cleared from the site by August 22.

The apex court asked all stakeholders, including NOIDA and Supertech Limited, to adhere strictly to the deadline given in the status report and listed the matter for the next hearing on May 17.
