The Supreme Court will hear on December 9 the first set of cases pertaining to the pending Sports City projects in Gautam Buddh Nagar facing a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe.

The top court will start the hearing with the Lotus Green Sports City projects in sector 150 (SC-02). The court directed the petitions for Logix Sports City (SC-01, Sector 150) to be heard on December 16, while the third batch of petitions for Three C Green Sports City (Sectors 78 and 79) will be taken up on January 20.

The order was passed by a bench of justices MM Sundresh and PB Varale on October 6 during a separate petitions against the three Sports City projects.

In their plea, residents and developers challenged a February 24, 2025, judgment of the Allahabad High Court ordering a CBI probe against alleged irregularities in the allotment of the Sports City projects in sectors 78, 79 and 150. The high court had also directed the CBI to examine the alleged collusion with the officials of Noida Authority, the land owning authority.

During the hearing into the matter, the Supreme Court bench was informed by CBI that a “prima facie” case has been established and the agency requested the court to lift the stay on coercive action issued by the court last year to enable further investigation.

According to the petitions, the CBI probe was necessitated after the homebuyers claimed that the final construction plan was contrary to promises made in the brochure; that 70% of project space would be reserved for open area, recreational and sports facilities.

In its affidavit to the court, the Noida Authority said the revised Resolution Plan for the sector 150 Sports City project, “facilitating” its development and “safeguarding the interests of thousands of homebuyers who have invested therein”.

It further said that, following the court’s order of November 2025 requiring submission of revised Master Plan by the builders, Lotus Green Constructions Private Limited, had submitted a revised layout plan. This plan was approved by the 222nd Noida Authority board meeting in April 2026 and notified on May 6.

Additionally, Noida Authority granted conditional occupancy certificates for four projects in SC-02, sector 150, where 100% of outstanding dues have been paid.

These projects pertain to M/s Brickrise Developers, Ace Infracity Developers, Land Kart Builders, and Samridhi Infra Square Private Limited.

Prior to sanction of the revised layout plan, Noida Authority issued public notice in February this year inviting objections. However, homebuyers of Lotus Green Sports City project have filed an intervention application in the top court objecting to the revised plan.
