SC suspends demolition at Mumbai housing complex

New Delhi  : The Supreme Court Wednesday orderd suspension of the demolition of 96 flats of the Campa Cola housing complex in Mumbai till May 31, 2014.

The apex court bench headed by Justice G.S. Singhvi suspended the demolition of Campa Cola Society flats which were to be pulled down Wednesday by the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation on an earlier apex court order.

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.

The court will pass the formal order at 2 p.m.
