Real Estate builder Supertech has approached the Supreme Court seeking a stay on the demolition order for the two disputed 40-storey towers at the Emerald Court. Housing project in Noida.
The apex court had earlier pulled up Supertech saying “collusion between the developer and the planning authority” was “writ large” in the illegal construction of housing towers in Noida.
The builder company has proposed an alternative plan to demolish only one of the two towers and has also claimed that they could save several crores from being wasted and also prove to be “beneficial for the environment”.
