HC orders demolition of Adarsh high-rise
Five-and-a-half years after the corruption scandal involving the Adarsh Housing Society emerged, the Bombay High Court on Friday directed the Centre to demolish the 31-storey high-rise in South Mumbai’s Colaba but stayed the order for 12 weeks to allow the residents to file an appeal.
The court ordered the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) and Union of India to demolish the building and consider initiating appropriate civil/criminal proceedings against the bureaucrats, ministers and politicians concerned for abuse of powers.
On December 2, 2015, a Division Bench of Justices Ranjit More and R.G. Ketkar had reserved its order on a bunch of petitions connected to the building erected for the welfare of war widows and defence personnel.
