SC turns down plea seeking stay on Maradu flats demolition
The Supreme Court on Friday refused to hear a plea seeking a stay on the demolition of Maradu flats. The bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra said, "No question of going back to our earlier order. An order is an order. It has to be complied with." "People are dying in floods, other natural calamities. Who are responsible? Builders or authorities who let this happen. We must fix the responsibility now," the apex court opined. The apex court also reiterated that all flat owners should be given at least Rs 25 lakhs each and asked builders to deposit Rs 20 crore within a period of one month.
