The Supreme Court has upheld zero-period relief granted to a developer in a dispute involving the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (NOIDA), while observing that the availability of some access to a project does not necessarily mean that adequate access was provided.
The ruling relates to the developer's claim for relief over delays connected with access and infrastructure. The Supreme Court dismissed appeals filed by NOIDA and upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision concerning the zero-period benefit.
The case is significant for the real estate sector because infrastructure and access to development sites can directly affect construction schedules, approvals, project viability and financial obligations. For developers, the availability of roads and other essential infrastructure is an important factor in project execution.
For property buyers, the case also highlights the importance of checking not only the project itself but also the surrounding infrastructure and connectivity before purchasing property.
The judgment could be relevant to other disputes involving development authorities and developers where delays are linked to the availability or adequacy of infrastructure.
