Twin towers case: SC rejects Supertech's appeal to modify demolition order
Financial Express Mumbai|October 05, 2021
THE SUPREME COURT on Monday dismissed Supertech's plea seeking modification of its August judgment that ordered the demolition of its 40-storey twin towers in the Emerald Court project on the Noida Expressway within three months for flouting building laws and dilution of safety standards, and other guidelines that affected the quality of life of flat buyers.
Twin towers case: SC rejects Supertech's appeal to modify demolition order

The company had moved a miscellaneous application for modification of the apex court's order to allow it to only partially demolish 224 flats of one tower along with its community area on the ground floor to conform with the building norms. It contended that due to the proximity of Tower 17 (Ceyane) with the other residential towers in its Emerald Court project, the process of demolition by blowing through explosives cannot be carried out, and rather it would have to be done brick by brick. The real estate firm said the proposed modifications if allowed, would save crores of resources from going to waste in the construction of towers T16 (Apex) andT17 (Ceyane).

A bench led by Justice D Y Chandrachud while dismissing the developer's plea said that granting such relief was like a review of the judgement passed by the top court.
