A bench comprising justices SJ Mukhopadhaya and SA Bobde issued the notice to the state government and the civic body based on the petition by residents.

During the vacation, the apex court had refused to give any relief to the flat owners in Mumbai's controversial building complex against the earlier order asking them to vacate their premises by May 31.

The apex court had also rejected the submission that at least the illegal flats be not demolished till the time it decides the curative petition of the residents' association in the case.

The court had extended the time till May 31 for vacating the premises. Seven high-rises were constructed between 1981 and 1989. The builders had permission for only six floors. One of the compound buildings, Midtown, has 20 floors and, another building, Orchid, has 17 floors.

Senior civic officials refused to comment on the issue saying they are waiting for the court order to appear.
