Mumbai: Land allotments by CIDCO during the tenure
of V M Lal have once again landed in a controversy.
CIDCO has now cancelled allotments to persons allotted
plots to build bungalows in Navi Mumbai. Three such
persons approached the Bombay HC this week. Hearing
the case, a division bench has directed CIDCO to maintain
status quo for a week to allow the petitioners to file
a civil suit.
The case dates back to 2002-2003 when CIDCO sought
applications for allotment of plots for bungalows in
Navi Mumbai. In 2004, one of the petitioners N G Shingade
applied to CIDCO and was allotted a plot. Shingade paid
close to Rs 24 lakhs and was allotted the plot on a
60-year-lease. On July 14, 2005, Shingade received a
show cause notice alleging discrepancies in the allotment.
CIDCO then cancelled the allotment.
