Noida: Execute contract with Mumbai firm to demolish twin towers within a week, SC directs Supertech

NOIDA: The Noida authority informed the Supreme Court on Monday that Mumbai-based Edifice Engineering has been chosen to carry out the demolition of two 40-storeyed towers of Supertech Emerald court.
The apex court has directed Supertech to execute the contract with the company to demolish its tower within a week.

The top court also directed Supertech Ltd to make the refund payments to the home buyers without prejudice to their rights and contentions.
The next hearing has been posted after two weeks.
On August 31 last year, the top court had ordered the demolition of Supertech Ltd's twin 40-storey towers under construction within three months for violation of building norms in "collusion” with NOIDA officials, holding that illegal construction has to be dealt with strictly to ensure compliance with the rule of law.
The top court had directed that the entire amount of home buyers be refunded with 12 per cent interest from the time of the booking and the RWA of Emerald Court project be paid Rs 2 crore for the harassment caused due to the construction of the twin towers, which would have blocked sunlight and fresh air to the existing residents of the housing project adjoining the national capital.
