Abstract: In this paper an attempt is made to discern the various legal issues for which the Supertech twin tower demolition took place on August 28th 2022. The Supertech twin tower demolition case was a very “significant” legal dispute in India that dealt with the construction & development of a residential project in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The case centered around two high-rise towers that were built by Supertech Limited, a leading and prominent real estate developer in India. The controversy began in 2010, when the construction of the Twin Towers began. The project was marketed as a luxury residential development with premium apartments & a range of amenities, including a swimming pool, gym, and shopping mall. The local residents & environmental groups, who raised concerns over the impact of the buildings on the surrounding area & the environment. These concerns led to a petition being filed in the Allahabad High Court in 2012, alleging that the Twin Towers project was in violation of building codes and regulations. The petitioner claimed that the buildings were constructed in an area designated as a green belt & that they were also taller than the maximum height allowed by the building codes. The court ordered an investigation into the allegations & found that the buildings were indeed in violation of the building codes. The court also found that the construction of the Twin Towers had caused significant harm to the environment, including the destruction of trees and other vegetation in the area.
