The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) in New Delhi has upheld that insolvency proceedings initiated by homebuyers against real estate firms must focus solely on the specific project where defaults have occurred. This ruling is designed to protect the interests of homebuyers and stakeholders involved in other projects of the same firm. The NCLAT emphasized that extending insolvency actions to unrelated projects would not benefit other stakeholders. In a recent case involving Raheja Developers, the NCLAT confirmed that the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) should be project-specific, as demonstrated in its earlier ruling concerning the Raheja Shilas project. The tribunal stated that claims filed by creditors and stakeholders must also be limited to the specific project facing insolvency, ensuring that unrelated projects remain unaffected.
