Embassy Developments Limited faces a legal setback after the Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court set aside an earlier order favorable to its subsidiary, Embassy East Business Park Limited (EEBPL). The court pronounced its order on June 15, 2026, overturning a May 12, 2026 ruling by a vacation bench that had quashed a land resumption notice issued by the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB). The dispute involves approximately 78 acres of land situated at the Kadugodi Industrial Area in the Bengaluru Urban District, which is held by EEBPL.

The Division Bench clarified that it has not expressed any opinion on the merits of the underlying dispute or on the appellant's locus standi. Consequently, all issues, including the validity of the KIADB resumption order dated March 16, 2026, remain open and shall be considered on merits by the regular roster of the High Court. The court directed that the undertaking furnished by KIADB before the Learned Single Judge, ensuring no coercive action is taken, shall remain in force.

Embassy Developments and EEBPL continue to maintain that the resumption order dated March 16, 2026 is liable to be set aside on merits. The company stated that the formal signed copy of the June 15 order is awaited. Upon receipt, the entities will evaluate the order and pursue appropriate legal remedies to defend their position and protect their interests in the ongoing proceedings.

The company clarified that pursuant to the present order, the matter stands restored for fresh consideration on merits before the regular bench. No final adjudication has been made on the validity of the resumption order itself. Embassy Developments and EEBPL remain confident of their position and shall continue to take steps necessary to safeguard their rights.

The disclosure was made to the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI LODR Regulations. The information was certified by Vikas Khandelwal, Company Secretary of Embassy Developments Limited.
