In its order on Monday, the Supreme Court also directed that a forensic audit report be given to the Enforcement Directorate, Delhi Police and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in India (ICAI) for taking appropriate action against Amrapali directors and auditors.

It also directed the Noida and Greater Noida authorities to comply with its earlier order.

The bench - comprising justices Arun Mishra and UU Lalit - also directed the Noida and Greater Noida authorities to set up a nodal cell for issuing completion certificates to homebuyers.

Last week, the authorities told the top court that they had created a special cell to ease out the problems of Amrapali homebuyers.

The court then directed them to start the registration of flats and grant completion certificates to thousands of harassed homebuyers.

In a ruling on July 23, the court had cancelled the Amrapali group's Real Estate Regulatory Authority licence and appointed NBCC to complete all its pending projects.

That verdict brought a big relief for more than 42,000 homebuyers who had sought possession of flats booked in Amrapali group projects.

Earlier, an audit report revealed that around Rs 3,500 crore of homebuyers' money was diverted by the Amrapali top brass.

The bench posted the matter for further hearing on September 11.
