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.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
