<p>The Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain a plea filed by flat owners in Kochi's Maradu&nbsp;who wanted a stay on the demolition of the apartment complex. The top court&nbsp;had earlier&nbsp;found the buildings&nbsp;to be in violation of Coastal Regulation Zone norms. Flat owners had challenged the legality of a panel which had recommended the demolition. The top court on Friday had ordered demolition of the flats within 138 days and had asked the state to pay ₹25 lakh interim compensation to each flat owner.</p>
