A vacation bench of justices J S Khehar and C Nagappan, which did not stay the eminent eviction of occupants and subsequent demolition of flats by the civic body, however, said that it would like to hear the plea of Campa Cola Residents Association on June 3.
"It is big human problem which will lead to eviction of 40 families living there," senior advocate Vikas Singh said.
"Allow the present writ petition filed by the petitioner Association before this Hon'ble Court and issue writ of Mandamus or Certiorari or any other appropriate writ or directions, directing the respondents not to demolish the building or take any other coercive steps till the outcome of the present writ petition," the plea said.
It said the association has come across certain facts, which never came out, under the Right to Information Act and they (facts) warrant fresh hearing of the case.

"Direct the respondents to adhere to their decisions of regularising the construction as revealed from the letters dated July 03, 1986 and minutes of meeting dated July 23, 85...," it said.
The court, on November 19, last year, had asked the flats owners at the society to vacate their houses by May 31 as no specific proposal could be worked out to provide them space in the compound for construction of new building.
Earlier, on February 27, last year, it had ordered the municipal body to demolish the illegal flats.
