The Delhi High Court constituted a committee headed by former Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna to oversee claims of Greenopolis homebuyers involving properties attached by the Enforcement Directorate.

What happened

The Delhi High Court constituted a committee headed by former Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna to oversee claims of Greenopolis homebuyers involving properties attached by the Enforcement Directorate. The committee will identify genuine homebuyers, assess competing claims and facilitate restitution to eligible claimants. Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani asked the body to endeavour to complete its work within eight months of its first meeting and submit reports every three months. The arrangement creates a supervised mechanism for resolving overlapping claims without itself predetermining every claimant's entitlement. Eligibility and restitution will depend on verification by the committee under the Court's directions.
