CLIPPING INTERNACIONAL (Supreme Court)
Powai township: No relief for
Hiranandani
The Supreme Court has allowed the Mumbai-based
Hiranandani Developers to withdraw its plea against a
Bombay High Court order, which restrained the
company from further developing a piece of land in the
city suburb Powai.
The High Court had earlier stopped the construction till
the company provided flats for people from
economically weaker sections.
In an order on Friday, a Bench comprising Mr Justice
H.L. Dattu and Mr Justice C K Prasad, “After arguing
the matter for quite some time, learned senior counsel,
Mr (Mukul) Rohatgi, requests the court to permit him to
withdraw the petitions.”
“Permission sought for is granted. Petitions are
disposed of as withdrawn,” the apex court said.
The apex court had earlier indicated that at this stage it
cannot interfere with the High Court order.
The High Court had observed that according to an
agreement between the State Government,
MMRDAand the original land owners, the development
of 230-acre plot under ‘Powai Area Development
Scheme' was for affordable houses of 400 and 800
square feet.
The agreement also had a provision for building
affordable houses for the poor. Public Interest
Litigations alleged violation this clause in the pact,
adding that the company circumvented this norm by
amalgamating such smaller flats or selling adjoining
flats to different members of the same family from
affluent classes.
