A Noida civil court has imposed a 100-meter protest-free zone around Jaypee Infratech's Sector 128 headquarters, following a plea by the company's new management, Suraksha Group. The interim order, issued ex parte, comes after homebuyers, awaiting possession since 2010-11, intensified demonstrations over stalled projects. The court limited the no-protest zone to 100 meters, rejecting Jaypee's request for a 500-meter buffer due to insufficient evidence. Homebuyers, represented by the JIL Real Estate Allottees Welfare Society (JREAWS), plan to challenge the order in the next hearing scheduled for July 15, asserting their right to peaceful protest and demanding timely project completion.
In a significant development affecting thousands of homebuyers, a Noida civil court has issued an interim injunction prohibiting protests within a 100-meter radius of Jaypee Infratech's main office in Sector 128. The order responds to a civil suit filed by Jaypee Infratech Ltd (JIL), now managed by Suraksha Group, against the JIL Real Estate Allottees Welfare Society (JREAWS) and unnamed protestors.

JIL's petition alleged that demonstrators had disrupted operations, blocked access, and threatened employees, particularly during an April 10 protest involving over 125 homebuyers. The company sought a 500-meter no-protest zone; however, Civil Judge Mayank Tripathi limited it to 100 meters, citing JIL's failure to demonstrate control over the larger area.
The order was issued ex parte, with neither JREAWS nor individual buyers present or having filed objections. Ashish Mohan Gupta, president of JREAWS, criticized the timing, stating that the notice was served late in the evening for a hearing the next morning, leaving no opportunity for a response.
Gupta emphasized that over 17,000 buyers have awaited possession since 2010-11, with original delivery dates of 2014-15. He asserted that the protests are a result of prolonged delays and lack of progress, even after Suraksha Group's takeover, which was approved by the National Company Law Tribunal in March 2023.
Suraksha Group CEO Ab stated that the company is committed to the resolution plan, deploying over 3,000 workers scaling up operations. He mentioned that contracts are being awarded and efforts are underway to obtain occupancy certificates for completed towers.
JREAWS plans to contest the interim order at on July 15 and may seek relief from higher courts if necessary. The group maintains that their actions are lawful and aimed at securing the homes they have long awaited.
This legal development underscores the ongoing tensions between homebuyers and developers in India's real estate sector, highlighting the challenges faced in project completions and the rights of buyers to seek redress.
