The Supreme Court today asked the unauthorised flats owners at the Campa Cola Society in Mumbai to vacate the premises by May 31, 2014.

The apex court passed the order as Attorney General G E Vahanvati informed the court that they are not in a position to work out any specific proposal to provide them space in the compound for new construction.

A Bench headed by justice G S Singhvi, which on November 13 had stayed the demolition of the unauthorised flats by taking cognizance of media reports, said it had taken the matter on humanitarian ground.

The court has extended the date of demolition from November 11, 2013 to May 31, 2014 as the Attorney General had sought time to come out with a specific proposal for permanent solution.

The court said occupants must give an undertaking within six weeks. It also said, if no undertaking is given, the municipal corporation will be entitled to take action in accordance with the order of February 27.

The court on February 27 had ordered the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to demolish the illegally constructed flats and had set November 11 deadline to vacate 102 flats which were declared as illegal.
