The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has directed the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP) overseeing Supertech Limited to respond to the grievances of approximately 26,000 homebuyers who are awaiting possession of their properties. This order follows a plea from the homebuyers, who have expressed frustration over significant delays in project completion and their inability to obtain their booked homes.

The IRP, appointed to manage the insolvency proceedings of Supertech, is required to present a comprehensive report addressing these issues, providing clarity on the timeline for project completion and the status of funds allocated for the homes. The NCLT’s intervention underscores the urgency of resolving these long-standing concerns of homebuyers, many of whom have invested their life savings into these projects.

The situation has become increasingly critical as homebuyers are seeking answers regarding their investments and the prospects of receiving their properties. The tribunal emphasized the need for transparency and accountability from the IRP in handling the situation. It highlighted that the homebuyers are not mere creditors but stakeholders with vested interests in the ongoing projects.

In the broader context, this case is a reflection of the challenges faced in the real estate sector, particularly concerning delayed projects and the implications for consumers. The NCLT's directive aims to restore confidence among homebuyers and ensure that their interests are prioritized during the insolvency resolution process.

Overall, the NCLT's directive is a crucial step in addressing the grievances of thousands of affected homebuyers and ensuring a fair resolution to the ongoing crisis in the real estate sector.
