Insiders indicated that the society has decided to challenge the legality of the showcause notice issued by the Union ministry of environment and forests ( MoEF).

 

The Jairam Ramesh-led ministry had on November 12 served Adarsh a notice, asking why the society, which it claimed had constructed the 31-storey building on the Colaba plot in violation of environment and coastal regulation zone (CRZ) norms, should not be demolished. After asking the promoters to furnish a reply within 15 days, the ministry, following representations from the society, agreed to extend the deadline to January 4. Read the full report here.
