Mr S.D.Rayrikar,AGP for R.Nos 1 to 5. CORAM: D.B.Bhosale,J. DATED: 08.02.2008 P.C.: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. This petition is directed against the orders passed by the authorities below by which the petitioner’s claim that he is entitled for independent accommodation in lieu of his hut/accommodation situated at C.T.S. No.1053(P), Village Danda, Gajdhar Bandh, Santacruz (W), has been rejected. The petitioner relied on several documents in support of his case that the premises in his possession were in existence on 1.1.1995. However, after considering all the documents on record and more particularly the ration cards, birth certificate of his son and the driving licence, the concerned authorities have rejected his claim. It appears that the petitioner and his brother both were having one structure and the claim of the brother had already been accepted on the basis of similar documents produced by him. The petitioner claims independent right contending that he holds a separate ration card. In my opinion, the petitioner’s claim has rightly been rejected by the authorities below. It is clear from the impugned order that he was offered personal hearing and all the documents produced by him were examined by the authorities below which had recorded a categoric finding that he could not produce a single document to show that he had an independent structure in his possession and it was in existence on or before 1.1.1995. In the circumstances, I find no merit in the petition. The writ petition fails and is dismissed as such. (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
