JAL promoters file petition in SC over land cancellation in Noida
Noida:
Jai Prakash Associates Ltd
's (JAL) promoters have filed a special leave petition (SLP) in Supreme Court, challenging the Allahabad high court's decision that upheld the cancellation of the group's Sports City land along the Yamuna Expressway by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA).
However, the court refused to grant any interim stay or relief on the plea filed on June 7. Instead, it issued notice and directed the current SLP be tagged with the already pending related case.
The petitioners had requested the court to maintain the status quo on the land. YEIDA had argued there was no justification for granting relief to the promoters at this stage citing two other SLPs where "no stay or status quo was granted".

This development marks yet another legal twist in the protracted battle over the 1,000-hectare Sports City land, originally allotted to JAL for developing a mixed-use project with sports infrastructure, including the Buddh International Circuit. The land was cancelled by YEIDA in Feb 2020, citing non-payment of dues and violation of lease conditions. This led to multiple rounds of litigation.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for July 29.

The SLP — filed by Sunil Kumar Sharma and another suspended promoter in their personal capacity as guarantors to JAL's debt — came up for hearing on Monday before a bench comprising Justices KV Viswanathan and Nongmeikapam Kotiswar Singh.
The counsel, appearing for the petitioners, argued that the resumption of the land by the Yamuna Authority following the cancellation order substantially increased their liabilities as guarantors under the insolvency process.
They argued the 1,000-hectare land parcel in question — part of the Sports City project — is a key asset for JAL's financial recovery and revival under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
However, the legal team representing YEIDA objected to any interim relief. It submitted that two other SLPs — one filed by JAL through its insolvency resolution professional (IRP) and another by the committee of creditors (CoC) — were already heard by the court and no stay or status quo was granted.
In March, Allahabad high court upheld YEIDA's cancellation order and directed the Authority to take over the land and complete the incomplete group housing projects. launched by JAL over a decade ago.

Bengaluru's KR Market's underground parking lot set to get Rs 80-lakh revamp
1 2 3 4 Bengaluru: BBMP has invited tenders worth Rs 80 lakh to upgrade the dilapidated underground parking lot at KR Market, marking the start of a long-overdue transformation of one of Bengaluru's busiest commercial market zones. The underground parking lot, spanning nearly 1 lakh square feet, is currently in a state of neglect, filled with garbage, floods during rain and encroached by abandoned vehicles and autos. The upcoming revamp is part of BBMP's broader vision to decongest the market, streamline vendor operations and improve pedestrian safety and sanitation in surrounding areas. Suralkar Vikas Kishor, BBMP zonal commissioner (west), told TOI, "The underground parking has completely failed its purpose over the years. The condition is so poor that it's unusable today. This tender will help us revive the space for proper public utility. The parking space will be upgraded to a modern version with all facilities and maintained." BBMP has also proposed reorganisation of street vending in and around KR Market, with plans to launch a fresh survey. Over 100 officials will be deployed to assess vending patterns to identify duplicate usage of spaces by vendors through the day. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Glicemia acima de 100?

Several vendors do business at different time zones based on the nature of their produce and demand. Also, we don't know the exact market boundaries," said Suralkar.

"The idea is to create fixed 5x5ft vending spots that are shift-based, ensuring that only the permitted number of vendors are allowed to trade. We will be marking these spaces and assigning them to specific traders. Each vendor will also be required to maintain a personal dustbin, collect waste and dump it into BBMP vehicles," Suralkar said. BBMP will be installing 64 CCTV cameras and using geo-fencing to track sanitation responsibilities. Officials are also exploring the possibility of making parts of KR Market area vehicle-free during weekends, similar to Cubbon Park's traffic-free Sundays. Discussions are under way with traffic police and BBMP's brass to help improve walkability and safety. As part of the larger market upgrade, the Palike is considering reviving the defunct biogas plant near the flower market to manage wet waste on-site. "Given the volume of perishable waste KR Market generates daily, reactivating the biogas plant could be an effective waste-management solution. However, the current plant is destroyed and a new structure has to be built," the official added.
