Supreme Court: 100m of 24m-wide road missing at DLF Primus Gurugram

The core issue involves a significant deviation where a 24-metre-wide road promised in the plan has been partially converted into a green patch and parking area.

Who it concerns: The case involves Swarnpreet Kaur & Anr. and DLF Home Developers Ltd. & Ors. as primary parties, along with other related appeals involving Rohit Bhayana, Mayank Kumar, Ranjana Bhatia, and L.K. Dhamiya. The Bench consists of Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Justice R. Mahadevan.

What the court decided

• The Court noted that approximately 100 metres of the 147-metre stretch designated for a 24-metre-wide road is currently used as a green patch or for parking, which is a substantial deviation from the brochure.
• The Court directed the Director of the CBI to assign two additional Inspectors to assist Mr. Saurabh Gupta in completing the Preliminary Enquiry (PE).
• The matter was adjourned to 12.10.2026 at 3.00 p.m. to await the final CBI report.
• The Court warned that if the project is not completed in accordance with the brochure by the next hearing, it will pass appropriate orders.
• The State of Haryana and its officials were cautioned to take necessary steps regarding land acquisition for the road and to resolve impediments to Residents Welfare Association elections by the next date.
• The Senior Additional Advocate General for Haryana and concerned respondents were ordered to file detailed responses to the private parties' affidavits, including disclosures on steps taken to ensure statutory compliance in construction.

Also in the document

• The Court described the deviation from the brochure as 'substantial' rather than minor, noting that almost two-thirds of the designated road stretch is non-conforming.
• The Court expressed dissatisfaction with the conduct of the State of Haryana and its officials regarding land acquisition and election impediments.
• The Court clarified that the CBI must conduct its Preliminary Enquiry objectively and independently, without being influenced by observations made during the proceedings.
