In an effort to finish the second level of verification while the first stage is still pending, the SFIO has informed the Supreme Court of the number of claims they have received to date. The SFIO is carrying out its responsibilities, counting and confirming investment claims.
The Court is very explicit that Heera Group representatives will decide who gets paid and who doesn’t. The SFIO has only tallied about Rs 250 crore in claims as of right now, which is a rather tiny amount in relation to the 700 crore worth of properties that Heera Group has turned over. With the money Heera Group has given the court, the claims can be readily settled.
Supreme Court’s decision
On January 31, 2023, the Honourable Supreme Court heard a case involving land in the SA colony and SFIO-related issues. The Honourable Supreme Court disproved the baseless claims brought against the property. The participating party must finish property demarcation in front of the District Magistrate, as per an order from the Honourable Supreme Court of India.
Beginning on February 13, the District Magistrate will oversee the demarcation procedure. It will be assumed that the parties have nothing further to say if they choose not to take part in the demarcation. Well, it was clarified that the DM will take all necessary measures, including deploying the police force, to ensure a successful demarcation.
The committee overview
The number of claims that the SFIO has so far received has been disclosed to the Supreme Court. In order to set up a committee to oversee investment payments, the SFIO petitioned the Supreme Court. The Heera Group’s properties will be sold, and all proceeds will be placed there for the committee to select who will be paid. Well, the prestigious retired jurist will serve as the committee’s chair in this committee.
The Enforcement Directorate and the Heera Group will have significant responsibilities in the payment distribution, and their representatives will be included in the group.
