The authorities implementing welfare legislation/schemes to safeguard the interest of marginalized people are required to adopt a pragmatic approach and be flexible, the Bombay High Court has observed. The HC has quashed an order dated October 15, 2019, passed by the deputy chief officer, Dharavi Redevelopment Project/Mill, MHADA, cancelling the allotment of a room in Prakash Cotton Mill Compound in Lower Parel to a 76-year-old mill worker who lost his livelihood in 1982 during the textile mill strike.
The HC was hearing a petition by Shamrav Kamble, who shifted to his native village in Kolhapur after losing his livelihood and home, challenging MHADA's order cancelling allotment of his room as he failed to deposit Rs9.5 lakh by June 2018 and sought extension to make the payment.
