The Delhi High Court on Monday permitted four out of the seven plaintiffs to withdraw from the civil suit challenging the election of the President, Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO). Justice Tushar Rao Gedela granted the plaintiffs one week’s time to file a consolidated amended memo of parties.
The suit concerns the elections held during the NAREDCO Governing Council meeting in October 2025, in which Niranjan Hiranandani was unanimously elected Chairman and Parveen Jain was elected President.
The proceedings come against the backdrop of the Division Bench’s order dated April 23, 2026, which stayed parts of the Single Judge’s earlier order dated March 23, 2026 and restrained further appointments to the NAREDCO Governing Council, while permitting the existing Governing Council to continue functioning pending adjudication of the election dispute.
The contempt petition was filed by one of the plaintiffs alleging that extensions had been given to certain GC members and appointments of honorary members had also been made in the 139th GC meeting dated 16th May. These extensions and appointments, Plaintiff contended, were in violation of the DB order and the Single Judge order.
During the hearing, four of the seven plaintiffs withdrew from the civil suit, persuent therto, one week’s time to file a consolidated amended memo of parties in the pending civil suit. The contempt petition filed by one of the plaintiffs was also permitted to be withdrawn with liberty to avail appropriate remedies under Order XXXIX Rule 2A of the Code of Civil Procedure.
The matter is listed for July 07, 2026.
