Slamming the Noida police report in a case against Managing Director of real estate firm Supertech Limited, a district court has directed the Crime Branch to reopen the case. Managing Director RK Arora has been accused of constructing extra number of flats against the map passed by the Noida Authority in one of its projects in Greater Noida.

Additional Sessions Judge dismissed the final reports submitted by the Gautam Budh Nagar police in the case against Arora, who has been accused of constructing 1,904 flats, instead of the 844 sanctioned by the Greater Noida Authority in Supertech Czar in Omicron I of Greater Noida.

"The police have not been able to justify the case and have not submitted satisfactory reports against Arora. We will cross verify the reports submitted by the the Noida Police and have ordered the Crime Branch to probe into the matter and take the case forward," the order read.

"When the Authority sanctioned the project for 850 flats, how can the builder construct 1,914 flats and use the greenery area for construction?" the judge rued.

A complaint in this regard was filed by homebuyer Arvind Kumar Singh. The magisterial court had then, on September 25, 2014, summoned the accused to face trial for offences under Sections 420 (cheating), 467 (forgery of valuable security, will, etc), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record),504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

According to the complaint, in 2009, Singh had booked a flat in Supertech's Czar project in Greater Noida and paid the amount as per the demand of officials of the firm. He had alleged that he was supposed to receive the possession of the flat in 2011, for which he had paid the entire amount by 2010.

"The possession was delayed and in 2014 they sent me the offer of possession via mail. I asked them for a proper occupancy certificate. They told me that they only offer the possession. So, I approached the Greater Noida Authority and asked them about the planand certification," Singh said.

He then cross-verified the project and found that the builder had constructed more flats than the sanctioned plan. He then wrote an application to the authority to recheck and filed a plea in the court against the builder.

The court accepted the contention of the complainant in 2014 and ordered the police to probe into the matter and asked them to submit the final reports, which it did not find satisfactory."In the given factual matrix of the case, in my view, the revisionists have rightly been summoned to face trial in the case," it said.

Many others Supertech homebuyers have also filed a complaint against Arora for duping them.
