Insolvency Appellate Tribunal NCLAT on Friday upheld Suraksha Realty's bid to acquire debt-ridden Jaypee Infratech Ltd but asked it to pay an additional around Rs 1,300 crore as farmers' compensation.

NCLT had on March 7, 2023, approved the bid of Mumbai-based Suraksha group to buy Jaypee Infratech Ltd (JIL), giving relief to more than 20,000 home buyers whose investments are stuck across various projects being developed in Delhi-NCR.

The appellate tribunal upheld the orders of the Principal bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), which on October 17, 2023, rejected their plea on technical grounds as the number of petitioners was only four, while the total number of allottees by Parsvnath Landmark is 488. The matter relates to La Tropicana Khyber Pass, a Delhi-based project of the realty firm. Section 7(1) of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) mandates a petition on behalf of the homebuyers (as financial creditors) is maintainable only if either 100 in number or 10 per cent of the allottees join the petition.
