City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Ltd. v. Krishna Dattu Patil and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
CIDCO review petition dismissed; review by non-party not maintainable after clarification preserving its rights; mutation of petitioners' names as tenants in Suit Property; Mutation Entry No. 72; Mutation Entry No. 1011 (1974) wrongly inserting CIDCO; CIDCO letter denying acquisition; Tahsildar report dated 22nd November 2022; relinquishment of owner's rights to Government; Writ Petition No. 1255 of 2024; orders dated 11th March 2024 and 8th April 2024; Bombay High Court Civil Appellate Jurisdiction; no order as to costs.
What did the court decide?
Having already clarified (order dated 8th April 2024) that the order of 11th March 2024 was passed in the absence of CIDCO, who was not a party to the Writ Petition, and that it did not foreclose CIDCO's claimed rights, the Court held that CIDCO cannot maintain the present Review Petition; if it claims any rights in the Suit Property, it must adopt independent separate proceedings.
