The Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) has challenged before the Kerala High Court an order of the committee led by the Ernakulam District Collector (DC Committee) directing the organisation to take possession of Chanderkunj Army Towers before their scheduled demolition.

A Single Bench of Justice P.V. Kunhikrishnan issued notice to the company that was awarded the contract to demolish the apartments and adjourned the matter to October 14 for further consideration.

The AWHO claimed that the towers and apartments were no longer under its ownership or possession and that it was not obligated to collect the keys from the owners.
