The order came minutes after the Bombay Municipal Corporation ( BMC) squad bulldozed its way into the Campa Cola compound in South Mumbai to take action against illegal flats in the society.
A bench headed by Justice G S Singhvi took suo motu cognizance of media reports and stayed the demolition process, saying it will pass a detailed order at 2pm.
Justice Singhvi, who had on October 1 refused to re-consider his earlier order on demolition of flats built beyond the sanctioned six floors, had set November 11 deadline to vacate 102 flats declared as illegal.
In the morning, the municipal staff with police help barged into the compound in South Mumbai by breaking open the main gate to take action against illegal flats in the society.
A scuffle broke out between angry residents of the Campa Cola society and police.
With the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation authorities firm on taking action against illegal flats in the Campa Cola Housing Society here, affected families earlier on Wednesday braced for a face-off and blocked entry by parking vehicles near the gate.
The civic staff had disconnected power, water and gas connections in the empty flats on Tuesday.
The residents, who allege that they have been singled out for action despite over 55,000 illegal constructions in the city, spent a restless night ahead of the civic action.
The Supreme Court had earlier set November 11 deadline to vacate 102 flats declared as illegal. Families living in the compound had pinned their hopes on chief minister Prithviraj Chavan stepping in and saving their homes by passing an ordinance to regularise their flats.
Fighting a legal battle since 2005, the residents said they were duped by the builders and will be on the roads if their flats were pulled down.
The seven high-rise buildings were constructed at the Campa Cola compound between 1981 and 1989. The builders had permission for only five floors, but constructed several more. While one of the buildings has 20 floors, another has 17.
The chief minister, while talking to reporters in Nagpur on Tuesday had said that the state government was examining the issue on how to go ahead and had already sought the opinion of state advocate general.
"The government is seeking views of other legal experts on the possible relief against the backdrop of the Supreme Court order," Chavan had said.
