They had already paid nearly the entire amount of \u00e2\u201a\u00b957.56 lakh out of \u00e2\u201a\u00b960.06 lakh well in advance. But when the developer defaulted, they were left stuck in insolvency proceedings that began in 2018.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1b1c1d\">Initially, their claim met resistance from the Resolution Professional. However, after being asked to resubmit their claim in early 2020, they did so. In April 2020, their claim was officially verified and included in the RP&rsquo;s list of financial creditors a year before the resolution plan was even approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1b1c1d\">Despite this, when the resolution plan was implemented, the Resolution Applicant refused to hand over possession. Instead, the homebuyers were pushed into a &ldquo;residuary clause&rdquo; meant only for unverified claims, making them eligible for just a partial refund. Both the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) and National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) upheld this treatment, leaving the homebuyers to approach the Supreme Court.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1b1c1d\">The Supreme Court, in a judgment written by <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1b1c1d\"><strong>Justice Satish Chandra Sharma<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1b1c1d\">, came down firmly on the side of the homebuyers. The Court called out the basic unfairness of what had happened, making it clear that the lower authorities were wrong to sideline a claim that had already been checked and admitted. Once a claim has gone through the process and been verified, the Court stressed, it isn&rsquo;t something that can simply be brushed away.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1b1c1d\">In the words of the court,<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1b1c1d\"><em>&ldquo;What is critical to note is that this is not a case of entertaining a fresh claim beyond the Resolution Plan. It concerns an allottee whose claim was verified and admitted by the Resolution Professional and reflected in the list of financial creditors well before approval of the Plan by the Adjudicating Authority. To disregard such an admitted claim and confine the Appellants to the limited benefit under Clause 18.4(xi) is not to preserve the binding effect of the plan but to misapply it. Relegating bona fide allottees, who have paid substantial consideration years in advance, to the status of mere refund claimants runs contrary to the very object of the legislative framework&hellip;<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:13.5pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#333333\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><em>To deny them possession today, despite their claim having been duly verified and admitted, would inflict unfair and unwarranted prejudice.&rdquo;<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1b1c1d\"><em>Additionally<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1b1c1d\">, the court stated, <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1b1c1d\"><em>&ldquo;The facts of the present case highlight the plight of individual homebuyers, who invest their life savings in the hope of securing a roof over their heads.
