The plea was mentioned for urgent listing before a bench of Chief Justice (CJ) Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia.
The plea claimed that the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) demolished a building adjoining the collapsed Satya Niketan building without clearing the debris, and that there may be people still trapped inside.
However, the Court asked the petitioner's counsel what the urgency was and also demanded what the source of his information was.
"What is your source of information that there are people below the debris?
CJ Upadhyaya told the petitioner to file the plea, adding that it will be auto-listed.
