Case Note & Summary

The case involved an application filed by co-developers of the Doon Square Project, which was part of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against Supertech Ltd. The CIRP commenced on 25.03.2022, and various orders were passed regarding the resolution of projects, including the Doon Square Project. The Tribunal had previously directed the project to be resolved separately, and a Master Agreement was signed on 08.10.2024 between the financial creditor, co-developers, and the company through the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP). The project was completed, and an Occupancy Certificate was obtained, but the registration of documents for homebuyers could not be executed due to the IRP's suspension. The co-developers argued that they were entitled to execute the registration documents based on the Master Agreement. The Tribunal found that the co-developers had the authority to sign and execute necessary deeds for registration as per the agreement. The Tribunal disposed of the application, allowing the co-developers to proceed with the registration of documents in favor of the homebuyers/allottees.
