Noida: Above Gray, the rain sank on Tuesday, the sun exploded under the canopy in the Emerald court complex, where a group of residents, some of them senior citizens, clapped like teenagers.
They have gathered, in the spirit of the same team who became the spine of their legal battle, to count down the clock of judgment.
When the time arrived, in the ping notification and pop-up laptop as an important verdict of the Supreme Court passing through the internet, it took a while for the opportunity to absorb and celebrate to start.
Samosa and Laddoos bring anticipation out almost as a reflection.
And then the cellphone starts ringing – family, friends, lawyers, neighbors, journalists, calls will not stop.
Historic victory takes a long time to come.
In December 2012, they had transferred the High Court of Allahabad to the construction of two dominated housing towers – Apex and Ceyane – on their compound by the developer, Supertech, accused a violation of the development plan.
In 2014, the High Court had ordered two destroyed towers.
The battle then moved to the Supreme Court, which upholds a high court order on Tuesday.
Under the canopy, the Cynosure of the Day is ‘Member Law Committee’, for whom it is provided the hardest cheer, and a painful tribute.
The youngest in this group of four did not live to see today – 57 years MK Jain surrendered to Covid during the second wave earlier this year.
Jain, former CRPF explored Uday Bhan Teotia, retired income tax officer Ravi Bajaj and SK Sharma, a retired telecommunications officer, forming a legal panel of RWA who struggled in the High Court and the Supreme Court.
Residents held a special prayer meeting for Jain.
“Loans went to Group Four who led the battle against one of the biggest real estate companies in Delhi-NCR.
All residents owe this victory to them,” said Secretary General Rwa, Pankaj Verma.
None of the members of the Law Committee who owned houses in the buildings most affected by the construction of Twin Towers – Aster 2 and 3 and Aspire 1 – but decided to lead to seeking justice.
“It’s not an easy task.
Our RWA members collect Rs 75 Lakh to pursue legal battles.
But it will be a lesson for developers who feel to deceive the system,” said Teotia, who was originally from Bulandshahr and became President of Rwa before he came out of internal affairs to be responsible for legal battles.
Rwa from the Emerald Court, where 660 families now live, formed in 2009.
Immediately after, pushback against Twin Towers began.
“The role of the Noida authority was sad.
They did not work with home buyers at all.
It is difficult to get an audience with officials without using our connection.
We also observe that showcuse notifications will be issued for developers but no one will come from them,” said Bajaj.
The Noida Authority has issued 12 notifications to the developer.
Rwa moved the High Court to realize the Noida Authority was not willing to share a sanction plan for twin towers with them.
Bajaj said the community had given an example by standing together for the right purpose.
“There is no quarrel, there is no faction of the community holder against the twin towers.
Until 2010-11 only 400 families living in the community and they must contribute a lot to legal battle.
Those who can contribute a higher number,” he said.
Older residents who navigate legal courses are grateful to younger residents of the community for support in helping them with internet research and other aspects of their case during their free time.
Bajaj and Teotia said that they would wait for the next supertech step and follow up on the status of RS 2 Crore they were entitled to receive in one month after legal fees.
The general consensus is to maintain the corpus under RWA after replacing those who contribute.
