Key Highlights

  • The petitioner, Ciby George, a retired Army Colonel and resident of Tower ‘C’ of the apartments, contended that the Collector, who is also the chairperson of the committee entrusted with implementing the judgment, had failed to follow the directions in the judgment and evacuate the apartment, forcing him to live in an unsafe building under constant threat to life.
