The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the demand to demolish high-rise buildings in Noida, on the lines of Supertech Builders’ Twin Towers, which were demolished last month for violating rules related to construction of buildings.
The Bench ruled, “If the CJI has a complaint against any building, then he can put it before the authorities. No overall order can be issued.”
The petitioner had contended that a committee should be formed under the leadership of a sitting Supreme Court Judge to investigate the illegally-built towers in Noida.
As per the petition, following the approval of three revised plans, additional towers were constructed at the height of buildings in Gautam Buddha Nagar.
On August 28, 2022, the Twin Towers of Noida were demolished, following a Supreme Court order, for serious violation of building codes.
Noting that the Noida Authority and Supertech had engaged in nefarious complicity, the Apex Court had the Supertech Builders to demolish the buildings at its own expense under the guidance of Noida Authority.
