JAL promoters file petition in SC over land cancellation in 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.

Dollar braces for busy week of geopolitics and Fed speak
The dollar dithered on Monday ahead of a key meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy, while investors also looked ahead to the Federal Reserve 's Jackson Hole symposium for more policy clues. Currency moves were largely subdued in the early Asia session, though the dollar steadied after last week's fall as traders further pared back bets of a jumbo Fed cut next month. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo by Taboola by Taboola The euro was little changed at $1.1705, while sterling edged up 0.07% to $1.3557. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar advanced slightly to 97.85, after losing 0.4% last week. Markets are now pricing in an 84% chance the Fed would ease rates by a quarter point next month, down from 98% last week, after a raft of data including a jump in U.S. wholesale prices last month and a solid increase in July's retail sales figures dimmed the prospect of an oversized 50-basis-point cut. Live Events "While the data don't all point in the same direction, the U.S. economy looks to be in okay shape in the third quarter," said Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank. "The Fed is likely to cut interest rates by year-end, either in September, when markets now price in a cut, or a few months later, when Comerica forecasts a cut." The main event for investors on Monday is a meeting between Trump and Zelenskiy, who will be joined by some European leaders, as Washington presses Ukraine to accept a quick peace deal to end Europe's deadliest war in 80 years. Trump is leaning on Zelenskiy to strike an agreement after he met Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin in Alaska and emerged more aligned with Moscow on seeking a peace deal instead of a ceasefire first. Also key for markets this week will be the Kansas City Federal Reserve's August 21-23 Jackson Hole symposium, where Fed Chair Jerome Powell is due to speak on the economic outlook and the central bank's policy framework. "I think (Powell) will also talk about the current economic conditions in the U.S., and that will be more policy relevant, that will be more interesting to markets," said Joseph Capurso, head of international and sustainable economics at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. "Given market pricing is very high for a rate cut in September, I think the risk is that Powell is hawkish, or is perceived to be hawkish, if he gives a balanced view of the U.S. economy." In other currencies, the dollar rose 0.11% against the yen to 147.34, after falling roughly 0.4% last week. Japan's government on Friday brushed aside rare and explicit comments from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who said the Bank of Japan was "behind the curve" on policy, which appeared to be aimed at pressuring the country's central bank into raising interest rates. The Australian dollar was up 0.1% at $0.65145, while the New Zealand dollar rose 0.15% to $0.5934, after falling 0.5% last week.

Bengaluru man's Rs 78,000 EMI on Rs 1.3 crore flat turns into burden after layoff. Sparks rent vs buy debate online
Owning a dream home in Bengaluru is often seen as a milestone, but for one family, it has become a source of stress. A story shared on X by a user called Wealth Whisperer has stirred a heated discussion about whether buying property in India's metros is worth the risk compared to renting. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency Wealth Whisperer narrated the story of her cousin's husband, who purchased a flat worth Rs 1.3 crore a few years ago. With a hefty down payment of Rs 50 lakh and monthly EMIs of Rs 78,000, the family managed to keep up—until a recent job loss from an MNC turned the investment into a financial strain. She revealed that she advised him to sell the flat and start afresh with new plans. — chai_and_chat (@chai_and_chat) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Undo Internet debates The post sparked strong reactions. One user compared it with his own experience, saying he bought a flat for Rs 65 lakh in 2020, made a down payment of Rs 20 lakh, and took a loan of Rs 45 lakh. His EMI came to around Rs 40,000, but he claimed that he could now rent the flat for Rs 55,000 or sell it for Rs 1.5 crore. He also added that at one point, he rented the property out, used the proceeds to repay part of the loan, and now felt confident he could clear the balance with his PF. Others weighed in on the bigger question. 'Is it really worth buying costly apartments these days, or should we just rent?' asked one user. Wealth Whisperer responded that there is no universal answer, explaining that it depends on a person's bank balance and the prevailing rent. Some users shared their philosophies on money. 'That's the only reason I pay in cash: one-time payment, no EMIs,' wrote one. Another questioned the wisdom of taking on debt with an unstable job, suggesting that only government employees enjoy true security. Wealth Whisperer countered this by claiming that over 90 per cent of Indians are in private jobs and will naturally want to buy homes, but the real key lies in calculating the risks before taking on heavy debt.
