Realtor Supertech urges apex court to limit demolition to one Noida tower

New Delhi, September 29
A month after the Supreme Court ordered demolition of Supertech’s 40-storey Emerald Court twin towers in Noida for violation of building laws and norms in collusion with Noida authority officials, the real estate major moved the Supreme Court on Wednesday, urging it to confine demolition to one tower. It said the demolition of one tower would ensure compliance with law, including minimum distance requirements.
Requesting the top court to stay the demolition, the company said partial demolition of 224 flats would be sufficient to bring it in conformity with the building norms. A Bench led by Justice DY Chandrachud, which had ordered the demolition on August 31, is likely to consider the plea in the next few days.
