The Supreme Court of India has granted permission to the Unitech board, appointed by the Centre, to seek police assistance in managing disturbances affecting its operations. This decision comes amid ongoing challenges faced by the company, which has been under scrutiny due to various regulatory and operational issues.

The court's ruling allows the board to request police support to ensure safety and security during interactions with stakeholders and while conducting business activities. This move is seen as a proactive measure to prevent potential disruptions that could hinder the board’s efforts to stabilize and manage Unitech effectively.

Unitech has been grappling with significant challenges, including financial difficulties and disputes with homebuyers, which have raised concerns about project delays and completion timelines. By enabling police assistance, the Supreme Court aims to ensure that the board can operate without external disturbances that may exacerbate the situation.

This ruling is part of a broader effort to restore confidence in Unitech and facilitate smoother operations under the newly appointed board. The board's ability to work effectively with law enforcement will be crucial in addressing the challenges ahead and implementing necessary measures to resolve outstanding issues with stakeholders.

As the situation unfolds, stakeholders will be closely monitoring how this decision impacts Unitech's operations and its efforts to navigate through these turbulent times in the real estate sector. The court's involvement underscores the significance of regulatory oversight in corporate governance and the importance of maintaining order in such complex situations.
