May 31 deadline to vacate Campa Cola Society stands: SC

May 05, 2014 14:31

The Supreme Court says it will not grant Campa Cola Compound residents time beyond May 31 to vacate the premises.

The nearly-100 flats have been declared an illegal construction. In November, just as bulldozers from the city corporation arrived to begin demolishing them, the Supreme Court intervened, stating that occupants would be able to live in the high-rise in South Mumbai till May 31.

The residents have today lost an appeal for an extension.

They say they were duped by the builders.
