The apex court had on November 8, 2016, directed Supertech to deposit Rs 10 crores by January 3, 2017, for refunding those home buyers who want to wriggle out of its disputed project, which has been found to be non-compliant of building laws by the NBCC.

The National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) in its report had said, “The open space available between the two towers Tower 1 (Aster 2) and Tower 17 is less than 20.45 metres, as prescribed in the NBC rules. Thus, from the above observations and inferences, the NBCC concludes that the two towers are not compliant with the REG 24.2.1(6) of the Noida Building Regulations, 2010.”
The apex court had earlier said that if the project is violative of the building laws, then it will be demolished. The court had on September 6, 2016, given a stern message to the firm, asking it to return money to investors who wanted refund. The company had earlier told the court that a total of 628 people had approached the company, of whom 274 have sought other arrangements, 74 have asked for re-investment and 108 have sought refund.
