1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION NO. 19 OF 2009 Chandivali Powai CHS Sangh Ltd. ... Petitioner Vs. The Vice President, Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority & Ors. ... Respondents Mr. M.A.Choudhari, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mrs. S.M.Dandekar with Mr. G.W.Mattos, AGP, for respondent no.2. CORAM: F.I.REBELLO AND J.H.BHATIA, JJ. DATE : 24th February, 2010. P.C. 1. In our opinion, the exercise sought for by the petitioner in this petition is to practically run the affairs and the commercial dealings of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority which this Court will decline to do. The PIL Jurisdiction is limited in case of violation of fundamental rights or gross violation by Authorities in respect of the administrative duties. It cannot be used nor usurped for running internal affairs of local bodies, including MHADA. In the instant case, the first objection raised by the petitioner is the sale price of the High Income Group flats. The affidavit filed by Dr. Satish Shankar Bhide, Chief Officer, MHADA, explains the facts set out therein. In our opinion, the present policy is exclusively within the domain of the authority concerned and 2 is it is not for this Court to interfere in this petition in its Extraordinary Jurisdiction. 2. It is then contended that D.C. Regulations have not been followed. Dr. Bhide in para 4 of his affidavit clearly sets out that the constructions have been done in terms of the approved plans. Hence, there is no merit in this contention. 3. The third contention is regarding the matter of stamp duty and registration charges. These are payable for the purpose of registering the documents and they have to be borne by the purchaser. 4. Lastly, it is submitted that the distinction between various groups ought not to be there. In our opinion, MHADA had not only High Income Group flats, but also Low Income Group and MIG Group. In that context, in our opinion, there is no merit in this petition. 5. In the light of that, the petition is dismissed. (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (F.I.REBELLO,J.)
