Campa Cola: SC agrees to hear fresh plea
The apex court said it will hear the plea on Tuesday.
On Nov 19, 2013 the apex court had asked the illegal flats' owners at the Campa Cola Society in Mumbai to vacate the premises by May 31, 2014.
The apex court had directed the residents to produce a written undertaking within six weeks saying they would follow its orders.
It said that if no undertaking is provided, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will be entitled to take action in accordance with the order of Feb 27, 2013.
The Supreme Court had earlier stayed the demolition of the flats at Campa Cola till May 31, 2014.
The Supreme Court on Nov 13, 2013 said it directed the BMC not to demolish the flats as there was an human angle to the issue.
The BMC earlier had called in bulldozers to demolish unauthorised flats at the compound of the Campa Cola housing society.
However, over 100 families of the society locked the main gate and refused to let in BMC officials, said reports.
On Oct 1, 2013 the Supreme Court had ordered Campa Cola society residents to vacate their 96 illegal flats by Nov 11, 2013. Only 10 out of them vacated the flats.
