Petitioner Vs Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai and others ..Respondents Mr. V.B. Naik with Mr. P.P. Surve for the petitioner. Ms. P.A. Purandare for the BMC. CORAM: SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J., & J.P. DEVADHAR , J. DATE : 14TH FEBRUARY, 2008 P.C.: The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has produced certain original documents on record and submitted he was never called upon by the Corporation to produce the original documents but the documents produced by him have not been accepted. The request of the petitioner for grant of an alternate accommodation came to be rejected by order dated 14th November, 2007. The primary reason for rejecting the request of the petitioner was that from 1975 to 1993, no communication or correspondence has been made. Now documents have been produced in support of his claim. In view of the above situation and the fact that the documents which have been produced, we are of the considered view that principles of natural justice have not been complied with by the authorities concerned. Consequently, we set aside the order dated 14th November, 2007 and direct the respondents to grant personal hearing to the petitioner and give opportunity to produce the original documents. The petitioner shall appear before the authorities on 3rd March, 2008 at 11.00 a.m. In the event if the petitioner do not produce these documents, order in question shall automatically stand restored. In the event if the compliance is made, the competent authorities shall pass the order in accordance with law. Petition stands disposed of. CHIEF JUSTICE J.P. DEVADHAR, J.
