Campa Cola: SC issues ultimatum to residents

, Nov 19: In a huge setback to residents of unauthorised flats in Mumbai's

society, Supreme court on Tuesday said that they must sign an undertaking to leave the buildings by May 31, 2014. The undertaking must be signed and submitted within 6 weeks, said SC

Speculations were there that BMC might seek more time from the Supreme Court to arrive at a permanent solution to end the issue.

An apex court bench of Justice GS Singhvi and Justice C Nagappan had suspended the demolition of 96 flats which were to be pulled down last Wednesday by the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on an earlier apex court order.

Earlier this year, SC had said that the flats have to be pulled down because of violation by the builders. These flats were constructed three decades ago.
