The Bombay High Court has made it clear that no extra-legal interference ought to be tolerated, in any manner whatsoever, when it comes to illegal occupants occupying the transit accommodations by Maharashtra Housing Area Development Authority (MHADA) in the state.The bench of Justices GS Kulkarni and Arif Doctor directed that the names of such persons who are illegally interfering in the MHADA officials (at any hierarchy) discharging their official duties need to be dealt with strictly as per law.advertisementTransit accommodations are built by the authorities to ensure that people have roofs over their heads while their buildings are reconstructed. However, in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and neighbouring districts, many people enter these transit homes illegally and never leave, creating a huge backlog of people needing transit homes.The bench said that the names of such persons who are causing extra-legal interference in any of the MHADA officials discharging their official duties, be intimated to the Vice President, MHADA by the concerned officials, whose office shall acknowledge any such complaint received from any official, for action to be taken in accordance with law, depending on the nature of the complaint.The bench specified that if the Vice Chairman himself is encountered with any such interference, he is free to submit the names of such persons to the Chief Secretary and/or to the High Court by moving an application in the proceedings, so that the court can pass appropriate orders.advertisementThe bench also directed the Vice Chairman, MHADA to circulate its order to all the concerned officials, who are directly dealing with the occupation of the MHADA premises. Also, the order has to be forwarded to the heads of the other authorities as well.The bench passed this direction while observing that it routinely comes across cases of illegal occupants often occupying the transit accommodation or persons occupying such accommodation without a semblance of legal right or any legal entitlement.”This cannot happen unless there is a dormant approach on the part of the official machinery, who do not act in a manner the law would mandate in performing their official duties or discharging the public trust reposed in them. By such illegality at both the ends, the illegal occupants are depriving persons who are genuinely in need of accommodation.”Advocate Manisha Jagtap, appearing for MHADA, informed the court that there is extra legal and political interference in protecting such illegal occupants, creating an embargo on the officers of MHADA not to take action against such illegal occupants.”MHADA officials or, for that matter, any officials of similar Planning Authorities like the Municipal Corporation (s), MMRDA, CIDCO etc shall not permit any illegal occupation of its premises depriving legitimate and genuine persons who are in dire need of transit accommodation or any other accommodation,” said the bench.
