New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear real estate giant Supertech's plea challenging Allahabad HC order for demolition of its two 40-floor towers in Noida.

The SC has directed maintenance of status quo and restrained Supertech from selling or transferring any flat.

Allahabad High Court had ordered to demolish Supertech's two under-construction 40-storey towers in the real estate firm's Emerald Court project.

Supertech had filed a separate appeal against the high court's verdict.

The two towers have 857 apartments in total. Of these, about 600 flats have already been sold.
In the petition, the firm has claimed that the two towers were being constructed as per "approved building plans" and "there is no violation".

On April 11, the Allahabad HC had ordered demolition of the two towers and directed the company to refund money to the homebuyers.
