The dispute was about the cancellation of development agreements and powers of attorney between property owners and a real estate company. The owners alleged that the company was not completing the development work on time. The court had to decide whether the suits filed by the owners were commercial disputes under the Commercial Courts Act, 2015, and if so, whether they should be transferred to a commercial court. The owners argued that the agreements involved transfer of ownership rights and title, and thus were not purely construction contracts. The court considered various judgments and provisions of the Commercial Courts Act to determine the nature of the dispute.
