Even as the threat of demolition looms large, about 627 flat buyers of
Supertech’s twin towers in Noida have stated they will challenge the high court
order in the Supreme Court. They said they wanted their flats back instead of
the booking amounts.
The Allahabad High Court on recently had ordered the demolition of the 2
towers in Noida’s Sector 93A - which formed a part of a residential project
named Emerald Court - for violation of
norms by its builder Supertech.
The 2 towers have 857 apartments
of which 627 had been booked.
On Sunday, the flat buyers held a meeting at the ground floor of one of
the 2 towers and decided to form a forum - Apex and Ceyane Residents’ Welfare
Association - to continue their fight for justice.
“The court did not think about the rights of flat buyers while delivering
its order. We were not informed by the real Estate firm and the authority so
that we could have put forth our side of the story. The decision affects us and
we were not even given a hearing. We will not accept our money back as we are
not into the business of lending. We are middleclass people, who had invested
their hard earned money to purchase a dream home,” said Mr. Dharmendra Singh,
one of the buyers, who had booked a flat on 9th floor.
“We have consulted our lawyers. We will ask the court why it did not stop
the construction of these 2 towers when the case was on trial. We will request
the court to penalise us but regularise the building as the government does
with many unauthorised buildings,” also said Mr. Jamal Anwar, 50, an engineer
& another buyer.
Meanwhile, Supertech has cancelled a press conference that was earlier
announced. The senior management was unavailable for comment.
