In Brief
A dispute between two real estate developer groups (Seth and Mittal) concerned compliance with a settlement order relating to the renewal of development licenses for land in Sector 89, Haryana, and payment of Environmental Development Charges (EDC). The Court held that the Mittal Group bears the primary responsibility to renew the licenses, while costs must be apportioned based on each group's development rights. The Seth Group must pay fees proportionate to its 14.80-acre share plus half of smaller developers' charges; the Mittal Group pays the balance. Both groups must submit undertakings to participate in a new EDC settlement scheme and complete the license renewal process within eight weeks, with non-compliance subject to contempt action.",
