The Legal Problem
There has been a long fight between the builder and the government about this project.
How It Started
In 2005, the government sold the 13.5-acre land to BNP for Rs4.8 billion. The land was meant for a five-star hotel with service apartments. But the builder changed the plan and built homes instead.
The Cancellation
The CDA cancelled the lease because the builder did not pay what they owed and broke the rules. The High Court agreed with this decision in 2017.
The Supreme Court gave the builder another chance in 2019. They had to pay Rs17.5 billion in parts and give bank guarantees. But the builder did not keep up with the payments.
High Court Decision (April 2026)
In April 2026, the High Court said:
- The CDA was right to cancel the lease
- People who bought apartments have no ownership rights because the builder did not own the land properly
What Happened Next
After the court decision, the CDA told people to leave. But the High Court stopped them from doing this for now.
The Prime Minister set up a team to look into the matter. Another team was also formed to investigate. Some owners have also gone to court to challenge the decision.
Anyone thinking of buying here should get legal advice first.
