The Allahabad
High Court on Friday ordered the demolition of two 40-storey towers of
real estate firm Supertech for illegal construction. The residential
towers are part of the Emerald Court Project in Sector 93 A, Noida. They
are unoccupied.
The judgement was passed while
allowing the writ petition of “Emerald Court Owner Resident Welfare
Association” wherein it was alleged that the approval and construction
of the two towers was “in complete violation of UP Apartment Acts”.

The
petitioner had claimed that the Noida Authority had given permission
for raising the heights of the two towers, which were earlier supposed
to have only 24 floors, “without maintaining the mandatory distance of
16 metres from an adjoining building block, making it unsafe, apart from
blocking air and light.” The Court has also ordered the prosecution of
Noida Authority officials for allowing Supertech Builders for carrying
out the illegal construction. Additionally, the builder has been asked
to refund the money to investors at a rate of 14 per cent.
When
contacted, RK Arora, CMD, Supertech, said: “We have not yet received
the order . If we receive it and it is against us, then we are going to
file an appeal to the Supreme Court for its decision. The construction,
which is going on at the project, is legal and is approved from Noida
Authority.”
In May 2013, the apex court had sought
demolition of 102 flats in the Campa Cola Housing Complex in Mumbai for
illegal construction. Later, it stayed the demolition till May this
year.
