User Query: I have spent yet another sleepless night. And it’s again about the demolition drive.
I stay on a legally sanctioned third floor in Lajpat Nagar. The Supreme Court’s latest ruling stays the construction of an additional third floor on new buildings. However, this order doesn’t specify anything about existing buildings. But the MCD has stopped accepting penalty charges for regularisation of overbuilding on the third floor. The amnesty scheme will finish on May 30. I believe the court will also adjourn for the summer soon. We have no idea where all this leaves us. Have my investments gone down the drain or is it that the SC says there will be no new third floor sanctioned. The MCD says it does not know.

Magicbricks Research moderator says: Dear reader, have you been affected by the drive? Is your house/shop on the third floor? Do you feel threatened by this order? Can residents be penalised for obtaining sanctions for buildings that were passing muster till now?
