The
Bombay High Court on Thursday disposed of a petition filed by a few developers
seeking concession in rules that require all builders to construct 20 percent
additional small sized apartments in their plots on all projects that are
bigger than 4,000 square meters. The
judges held that the government’s decision was correct.
The
division bench headed by Chief Justice Mohit Shah was hearing petitions filed
by DB Realty and few other developers, which said that it was not possible to
provide 20 percent affordable housing in all projects and it would hinder many
construction projects and so this policy should be scrapped.
It was
submitted by the petitioners that restriction on the land owner’s right to
develop and construct on his land is arbitrary and constitutes an unreasonable
restriction on the petitioner’s right given in the Constitution of India.
The
Judges, however held, we are not satisfied with arguments put before by the
developers and disposed of the petitions without granting any relief to them.
The draft
notice of the inclusive housing policy made it mandatory for all owners to
develop plots of 30 to 50 square metres to hand over to Maharashtra Housing and
Area Development Authority (MHADA) for economically weaker sections and low income
groups.
