NEW DELHI:

A bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice Sanjay Kumar expressed dissatisfaction over the approach of the authority and said, "You are responsible for the mess. Of course, developers made money from the homebuyers. But that does not condone your acts."

The bench said it may order a CBI probe into the whole "mess" if the authority did not come up with a plan to redress the grievances of homebuyers.

"You come up with a plan in 10 days... otherwise we will order a CBI investigation... You will have to ensure that interests of homebuyers are safeguarded. You are also part of the problem. You allowed this mess to be created," the CJI said.
