Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Tuesday refused to stay its order directing demolition of top three floors of a residential building near the international airport in Mumbai due to height regulation violations. A division bench headed by Justice V M Kanade dismissed an application filed by SAILEE Developers Pvt Ltd, which is constructing the six-storey building, seeking stay on the HC order.
“The developer had endangered the life of not only those people who travel by flights but also of the occupants of the building. The developer committed fraud by misrepresenting facts before the concerned authorities and procured NOC,” the court said. On the last few hearings in the case, the court had said zero tolerance would be adopted for any kind of construction violative of height rules near both domestic and international airports in the city. The court had asked BMC to demolish the fourth, fifth and sixth floors of the building.
The bench was on Tuesday informed that demolition of a water tank on the terrace of the building is over and demolition process of the fifth and sixth floor was on. Advocate Rizwan Merchant, appearing for the developer, urged the court to grant them a last chance and approach the BMC for re-verification of the height.
