LAUDING the Bombay High Court's "courageous" stand, the Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to interfere with the High Court order directing the demolition of 17 structures built illegally on green zones in Maharashtra's Thane.

- SUCHITRA KALYAN MOHANTY @ New Delhi

On June 12, the Bombay High Court said any unauthorised construction would be required to be demolished.

Challenging the order, Danish Zaheer Siddiqui has moved to the top court. The top court, while declining his request, asked him to appeal to the high court for review and relief.

A two-judge vacation bench of the top court, headed by Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Manohan, referred to the Bombay High Court's explicit finding that the underworld was involved in illegal constructions, happening in collusion with municipal bodies.
