NOIDA: The district administration on Thursday postponed the auction of two properties of 3C company for repaying buyers’ dues following a court order by the NCDRC.The auction bid, which was to be placed on Thursday by the collectorate, was disrupted by a writ petition in the Allahabad high court filed by a Ludiana resident, Rupinder Singh Gill, who claimed that the property attached for auction on October 10 last year had been sold to him two days earlier on October 8 by the directors of the company.
“Since the matter has now come up in court and a writ has been filed to object to the ownership of the property, I have asked the Noida Authority to investigate the title of the property that 3C company offered for auction. Once the details of ownership are complete, we will host the auction in keeping with the court’s directive,” district magistrate BN Singh said.
Sahil Sethi, a lawyer representing Lotus Panache Welfare Association (LPWA), said the entire case seemed suspicious as the homebuyers had been left out of the legal proceedings.
“The NCDRC case was filed by buyers seeking compensation of dues. So, they are a party to the issue. We were not informed that such a case has been registered at the high court. We suspect it was filed to stall the auction process,” he said.
