New Delhi: Nearly a year after vacating their flats at Signature View Apartments, residents have decided to approach the division bench of Delhi High Court, seeking directions for implementation of the court’s Sept 17, 2025 order and a clear timeline for demolition and reconstruction of the complex.The decision was taken at a joint meeting of residents held to discuss the delay in redevelopment of the apartments, which residents had vacated after the complex was found unsafe for habitation by the agencies concerned.“We will also seek a time-bound roadmap for demolition and reconstruction and measures to prevent further escalation of expenditure from public funds. We have, however, no intention to interfere with any ongoing legitimate investigation or judicial proceeding,” said Amarendra Jha, a resident.The residents said their demand was limited to ensuring that the court order was implemented and the process moved forward within a defined timeframe.“Our only contention is that court orders must be respected and investigations should have a defined purpose, while 336 flat owners and around 1,200 family members cannot be left waiting indefinitely for their homes,” Jha said.Almost a year after vacating the apartments, residents remain uncertain when they will finally be able to return home.
