The order issued by the HRERA court stated that the respondents must pay the specified compensation within one month of the order, or they would be liable to pay the amount along with an interest rate of 10.5 percent per annum until the payment was realised.

When contacted by TOI, NBCC officials refrained from commenting on the matter. Earlier in the year, the district administration had refused to grant NBCC permission to demolish the society, citing ongoing legal disputes and pending compensation claims, especially from Economically Weaker Section (EWS) allottees. These EWS flat owners had approached the Delhi High Court, challenging the demolition and alleging that NBCC had failed to settle their compensation claims.

At a Samadhan camp organised by the district administration, EWS allottees reiterated their concerns regarding unresolved compensation and requested clarification on their claims. The district town planning enforcement (DTPE) informed NBCC that further demolition proceedings could only proceed with permission from the Delhi High Court. The DTPE also recommended that the deputy commissioner issue guidelines to allow EWS allottees to register their flats and secure their claims against NBCC.

In its defense, NBCC emphasized the structural risks posed by the seven towers and sought immediate approval for demolition. The developer referred to a 2022 order from the district magistrate and DDMA, which highlighted the potential risks to life and property.
