The authority further issued restraining orders on the builders for not alienating the rights of the property till the matter is decided.

A show cause notice was directed to be issued to the company directors as to why a penalty of ₹50,000 should not be imposed on them for not appearing before the authority. The orders came in the wake of the association of allottees, Earth Copia Owners’ Society, appearing before the authority in a hearing.
