A top court had ordered the demolition of Supertech Ltd's twin Emerald Court 40-story towers under construction on August 31 last year for violating building standards in "collusion with Noida officials." The court found that illegal construction must be strictly dealt with to ensure compliance with the law.

The court ordered that homebuyers be reimbursed with interest and that the RWA of Emerald Court project be paid Rs.2 crore for the harassment caused by the construction of the twin towers, which would have blocked sunlight and fresh air to residents of the project.
