Bombay Court refuses distribution of KDMC apartments to poor

The Bombay High Court delayed the KDMC's proposal to allocate dwellings to 75 persons under the basic services to the urban poor (BSUP) scheme without an injunction, calling the criteria it used into question.

The ruling came during a hearing on a PIL filed by Kalyan-based architect Sandeep Patil, who claimed that persons who were not qualified for the scheme were added in eligible lists due to political pressure. The HC has urged the KDMC to respond by May 2.

Patil filed a plea before the High Court in the first week of March, seeking that the residences built under the BSUP plan not be provided to ineligible people, claiming that the KDMC had generated a list of 90 people who were temporarily ineligible for the benefits in Dombivli.

Patil's lawyer, Dadhichi Mhaispurkar, and advocate Siddhi Bhosale, stated in court that following Patil's PIL, KDMC postponed distribution of 90 flats to ineligible people, but later made 75 of them eligible and intended to distribute flats to them.

Following a meeting with the petitioner's attorney, the court ordered the state and KDMC to produce a detailed report on how they became eligible for the scheme.
