Mumbai: In a huge relief to hundreds of agitating residents of the Campa Cola Compound in South Mumbai's posh Worli area, the Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed the demolition of illegal flats built there till May 31, 2014.
Taking suo motu cognizance of the issue, the apex court directed the officials of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to halt the demolition work with immediate effect.
The order in this regard was passed by an apex court bench headed by Justice GS Singhvi. The court ordered the stay of demolition after senior counsel Fali Nariman mentioned the matter before the court.
The apex court earlier this year had said that these flats have to be pulled down because of violation by the builders. These flats were constructed three decades ago.
Later in the day, the apex court bench posted the matter or next hearing on November 19. The Supreme Court bench said that it was badly disturbed by the developments that took place at Campa Cola complex premises in Mumbai.
The bench also directed the Attorney-General to submit specific proposal for a permanent solution to this problem and asked him to reply before November 19.
The bench also questioned the BMC for failing to take action against erroneous builders, who were actually responsible for the situation.
