The apex court restrained the managing director and directors of the company from travelling abroad without its permission and asked its parent company, Jaypee Associates, to deposit Rs 2,000 crore with the registry to safeguard the interest of the home buyers.

The bench allowed Jaypee Associates to raise Rs 2,000 crore by selling land or properties and depositing it in the apex court registry by October 27.
