SC Upholds Order to Vacate Tardeo Tower's Top Floors
Imagine a tall building in Mumbai.
Some people bought apartments on the top floors, but they didn't have the proper paperwork (Occupation Certificate) to live there.
The government said they had to leave because it wasn't safe.
A court agreed, saying the rules must be followed.
The people tried to fight it, but the highest court said the first court made the right decision.
The court also said that the people living there were not following the rules.
Now, the people on the top floors have to move out.
Supreme Court upheld Bombay High Court order to vacate top floors of Tardeo tower.
Residents of floors 17-34 without Occupation Certificate (OC) must vacate within two weeks.
The High Court expressed concern over lack of fire NOC for the high-rise.
The Supreme Court dismissed the housing society's challenge, appreciating the High Court's actions.
The case involves 50 flat buyers out of 62, who occupied the tower's top floors.
