You Are Reeking Of Corruption: Supreme Court To Noida Authority In Supertech Emerald Court Case

The Supreme Court, during the day-long hearing, also asked the Noida that being a regulatory urban planning authority it should take a neutral stand.

Noida on Wednesday drew flak from the Supreme Court for failing to provide sanctioned plan to the Supertech's Emerald Court project home buyers saying, "you (the authority) are reeking with corruption right from your eyes and nose". A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and M R Shah, which reserved verdict on the appeal of Supertech against the Allahabad High Court order directing demolition of twin 40-storey towers, said that when home buyers asked for the plan, the authority wrote to the developer on whether to share it and refused to give the plan to them at its behest. "This is a shocking exercise of power. You (NOIDA) are not only in league but in cahoots with the Supertech. When home buyers asked for a sanctioned plan, you wrote to Supertech whether you should give the document or not and on denial you refused to give them the plan." "It was only after the High Court expressly directed you to give that you had given them. You are reeking with corruption from eyes, nose and on the face of it," the bench said.
