Greater Noida Authority seals illegal flats in Supertech’s Czar on HC order

The Greater Noida Authority on April 21 started sealing illegal flats in Supertech’s Czar housing society in Omicron sector following a court order.

The Allahabad high court had on April 18 ordered sealing of more than 1,000 flats in the Supertech Czar residential project of Greater Noida as they were allegedly constructed without due approvals.

A 14-member team consisting of officials from the planning, building and financial departments conducted the sealing drive. “We sealed villas and flats in Nicholas and Socrates towers on the first day of sealing”, an official was quoted as saying in media reports.

A High Court Bench comprising Chief Justice DB Bhosale and Justice Yashwant Varma had passed the April 18 sealing order when the builder failed to provide details regarding the number of flats wherein third party rights had already been created and those that had already been transferred to respective buyers.

On February 22, the Greater Noida Authority had sealed illegal villas and some flats in this Supertech project following an earlier High Court order. However, the court was not satisfied by the Authority action and found it half hearted.On April 18, the court again ordered sealing of all illegal flats.
