A division bench of justice Abhay Oka and justice CV Bhadang disposed the petitions filed by the six persons and directed them to approach the appropriate authority for appealing against the orders.
The Bombay High Court on Tuesday refused to grant any relief to six people who had sought stay on the action initiated by the government based on the one member report submitted to verify double and illegal allotment of flats under the Chief Minister's discretionary quota.
A division bench of justice Abhay Oka and justice CV Bhadang disposed the petitions filed by the six persons and directed them to approach the appropriate authority for appealing against the orders. One of the petition filed by Madhukhar Suryawanshi, a policemen, claimed that he was not provided with the one member JA Patil committee report and no show-cause notice for action was given to him.
The petitions prayed for a stay on the criminal action and return of flats initiated by the collector. Among the six petitioner one is a LIC employee, a court staff and others. The state government has stayed the chief minister's discretionary quota while hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by activist Ketan Tirodkar, highlighting irregularities in the scheme.
The State Urban Development Department and the Housing Department had recently informed the high court that it would initiate inquiry against those guilty officers and beneficiaries of double or multiple allotments of flats under the discretionary Chief Minister's housing quota.
The department also said that as per recommendations made by the Patil committee regarding the allotment of flats under the chief minister quota — a policy will be framed on those lines. The committee had suggested that possession of such flats would be immediately taken away by the government and if they were already sold by the beneficiaries then they would have to pay the difference between the prevailing rates of the ready reckoner and the price they had got at the time of sale of the houses. The committee was asked to probe double or multiple allotment of flats under the CM's quota since 1982 and recommend action to be taken against the beneficiaries.
