The Kerala High Court on Friday issued a conditional stay of the stop memo issued by the Kochi Corporation to the Kerala Judicial Officers’ Cooperative Society suspending the construction of a 15-storey apartment complex at Chalikkavattom for allegedly obtaining building permits after submitting falsified land documents. The stop memo was issued on a complaint that the building permit for the apartment complex had been obtained from the civic body after manipulating land documents which showed that the land was a dry land. Justice N. Nagaresh issued the stay order on the condition that the petitioner did not carry out any construction activity on 3.27 ares of the property which was described as ‘nilam’ (wet land).More Related News
