No stay on MHADA lottery, HC rejects plea seeking reservation for SBC

The Bombay High Court has refused to pass any urgent orders on a plea seeking for the Special Backward Class (SBC) to be included as a reserved category in the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development (MHADA) lottery for housing allotments. The petitioner, Deepal Shahu Shirvale, had sought that the lottery, to be declared on Monday, be stayed pending hearing of the plea or for the SBC to be included in the reserved category. A division bench of Justices Gautam Patel and Neela Gokhale in their order on August 11 refused to pass any orders granting urgent interim relief on the plea, noting that there was no urgency.

He said there are 11 reserved categories at present and the SBC category is not one of them. The bench while refusing any urgent relief observed the plea has not challenged the MHADA rules.
