What happened

Shortly after Oberoi Realty launched Three Sixty North in Sector 58, Gurugram, in June 2026, the Punjab and Haryana High Court passed an interim direction in July barring the developer from creating third-party rights or completing fresh allotments in the project. The dispute was linked to a representation by Advance India Projects Limited (AIPL) before Haryana’s Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP).

On 13 August 2026 the DTCP dismissed AIPL’s representation, describing the complaints as without merit. It confirmed Oberoi Realty’s status as developer and that the project’s Licence No. 69 of 2025 remains valid. Oberoi received the order on 17 August. According to a report on the company’s disclosure, the High Court restrictions ceased to operate as a result.

Why it matters

Three Sixty North recorded gross bookings of about Rs 8,109 crore within days of launch, so a freeze on allotments affected a very large number of buyers who had paid booking amounts but could not move to allotment and agreement for sale. The DTCP order removes that immediate obstacle.

The case is also a reminder that land and licence disputes in Gurugram can surface even in projects by large listed developers. In Haryana, residential projects are built on DTCP licences that are often held by landowning companies in collaboration with developers; disagreements between parties to these arrangements can end up in court.

What buyers in the project should do

Confirm in writing when your allotment letter and agreement for sale will be issued now that the curbs have lifted.
Check whether the developer has updated the HRERA project page with litigation details; promoters must disclose pending cases.
Ask whether any appeal against the DTCP order is pending or possible, and how it could affect timelines.
Keep records of all payments made during the freeze period.

Lessons for other Gurugram buyers

Before booking, ask which company holds the DTCP licence and whether the developer is a licensee or collaborator.
Search court records for the licence number or landowner names, not just the project brand.
Treat “booking” and “allotment” as separate steps: rights under RERA are clearer once an agreement for sale is signed.
