The Supreme Court of India has issued a contempt notice to the Managing Director of Sammaan Capital Ltd. (formerly Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd.) for allegedly continuing loan recovery proceedings against a homebuyer despite a stay order issued by the Court. The Court has directed the MD to explain why contempt proceedings should not be initiated for this apparent violation.
This development is part of broader legal scrutiny involving Sammaan Capital. The Supreme Court is also examining a plea filed by the Citizens Whistle Blower Forum seeking an investigation into alleged financial misconduct by the former promoters of Indiabulls Housing Finance. The plea alleges illegalities, violations, and siphoning of funds by the company and its promoters. The Court has sought responses from the company and relevant regulatory authorities, including the Reserve Bank of India and the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
