The company has also claimed rights over the project and sought cancellation of the sale deed executed in favour of Oberoi Realty.Also Read: Oberoi Realty bets on Gurugram despite global uncertainty; Vikas Oberoi says disruptions often create a 'spring effect'According to the court order, the dispute relates to a 14.816-acre land parcel in Sector 58, Gurugram, where a residential colony with a commercial component is proposed.The petitioner alleged that the grant and subsequent transfer of the licence were contrary to the provisions of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975, and that the transaction breached conditions governing foreign direct investment (FDI).The bench recorded these as the petitioner's allegations and did not express any finding on their merits.The petitioner further argued that FDI in such projects is intended for development and construction activities and not for facilitating an exit through the sale of the project, an allegation that was contested by the private respondents.During the hearing, counsel for the petitioner submitted that the project's estimated value is around ₹8,000-10,000 crore and will be developed in multiple phases.It was also stated that nearly 350 units had already been allotted and around ₹750 crore collected from buyers.The petitioner argued that permitting further sales before adjudication of the licence dispute could complicate the rights of prospective homebuyers.The Haryana government informed the court that the petitioner's representation seeking cancellation of the licence under Section 8 of the 1975 Act remains pending before the DTCP director, with the matter listed for July 20.The state assured the bench that all stakeholders would be given an adequate opportunity of hearing before any decision is taken.Also Read: Oberoi Realty plans to launch the second phase of its Gurugram project, Three Sixty North, next year: Vikas OberoiAIPL also informed the court that it had got an FIR registered in 2024 against IREO and Oberoi Realty, alleging collusion and cheating in connection with the same land parcel. However, proceedings in the FIR are currently stayed by the Supreme Court, and the matter remains pending.
