Emaar India has referred to an order passed by an ICC arbitral tribunal, directing that 'no transaction of any kind be undertaken in respect of the land parcels mentioned...until the passing of an arbitral award".

This order was pronounced during the arbitration proceedings between Emaar India Limited (formerly Emaar MGF Land Limited), MGF Developments Limited, Shravan Gupta and Others.

Emaar MGF Land Limited (now Emaar India Limited) was a joint venture between Dubai-based Emaar and Shravan Gupta owned MGF Developments Limited.  Emaar Properties, one of the world’s leading real estate developers, entered the Indian real estate market by investing about Rs 7000 crores in a joint venture with Shravan Gupta owned and controlled MGF Group in the year 2005.  The two partners parted way in 2016 through a demerger process by way of court of law. 
 
After the demerger, Emaar took complete control of the operations of Emaar MGF Land Limited (now Emaar India Limited).  Subsequently, the name of the Indian entity has been changed to Emaar India Limited with effect of 07.10.2020. 
 
Emaar has also filed a case alleging fraud and cheating against Shravan Gupta, his wife, his company MGF Developments Limited and other associates for fraudulent and illegal acts.  It has sought a compensation of Rs 2400 Crores with interest @ 18% from the date of respective losses in order to recover massive losses including irreparable reputational losses due to ‘the fraudulent and illegal acts of MGF Group’.
