Hiranandani can’t construct on plot before making affordable homes - DNA, Pg 1, Mumbai

In a major setback to Hiranandani developers, the Bombay high court (HC) restrained them from carrying out any further development at their Powai township before constructing affordable homes as contemplated under the tripartite agreement between the developer, state government and the MMRDA.

The court observed that they were issuing directives for corrective steps instead of punitive action against the developer and government officials. The HC, however granted liberty to petitioners “to take up the issue of corruption in a criminal prosecution against any errant public officers and the developer.”

A division bench of chief justice Mohit Shah and justice Roshan Dalvi directed the petitioners, Hiranandani developers and MMRDA metropolitan commissioner, to prepare a statement of buildings and structures put up by Hiranandani in Powai Area Development Scheme (ADS) along with the names, description and number of area and units/flats therein within four weeks.
