PC : The allotment of the land in question in MIDC area, at Latur to respondent Nos. 6 to 11 is under challenge in PIL No.103 of ASN 2 CA-150.sxw 2007. The said PIL is already heard along with other connected PIL No. 155 of 2006 on the appellate side. This Court has already passed an order dated 23rd September, 2009 in PIL No.155 of 2006 with PIL No.103 of 2007 and given the following directions. “The counsel appearing for the petitioner in PIL No.103 of 2007 states that the Court should take up the petition for hearing as the allottees are going ahead with the development of the plots of land allocated by the MIDC which is the subject matter of challenge in these petitions. The Court in these two public interest litigations is only examining the issue of allocation of land by MIDC according to its policy and, therefore, whatever allocations have been made will at the most be scrutinised from the said angle and if the allocations are made in accordance with the rules, regulations and the policy adopted by the State Government which is being implemented through MIDC’s, no fault can be attributed to MIDC. But, if it is otherwise, then definitely the Court will quash such allotment/allocation of the land and in that event the persons/trusts/institutions who have been allocated the land in breach of the rules and regulations which govern such allotment, will be developing the land at his/its own risk.” 2 In view thereof, no orders are required to be passed in the present civil application which is also taken out in PIL No.103 of 2007. ASN 3 CA-150.sxw 3 Notice to unserved respondent Nos. 18 and 19 as already directed by previous order. CHIEF JUSTICE S.J. KATHAWALLA, J.
