The apex court had, on October 30, 2017, said that Unitech Ltd’s managing director Sanjay Chandra, who is currently in jail, will be granted bail only after the real estate group deposited money with its registry, by December-end. The top court had earlier directed the jail authorities to facilitate Chandra’s meeting with his company officials and lawyers, so that he could arrange money to refund the home buyers, as well as for completing the ongoing housing projects.
Chandra is seeking interim bail from the apex court, after the Delhi High Court, on August 11, 2017, had rejected the plea in a criminal case lodged in 2015 by 158 home buyers of Unitech’s projects – ‘Wild Flower Country’ and ‘Anthea Project’ – situated in Gurugram.
