Bombay High Court

ARUNA NARENDRA SAWANTversusCHIEF OFFICER, MUMBAI BOARD, MHADA AND ORS

Decided: 25 August 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The petition is disposed as the petitioner’s grievance has been fully ventilated.

Summary

Aruna Narendra Sawant filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court challenging the alleged denial of allotment and possession of a flat by the Mumbai Development Authority (MHADA). The respondents, including the Chief Officer of the Mumbai Board, submitted that an allotment letter had already been issued to the petitioner and that possession had been handed over, attaching a possession letter and receipt dated 20 August 2026. The court examined the documents and found that the petitioner had indeed received possession of the allotted unit. Consequently, the court held that the petitioner’s grievance was fully ventilated. The petition was therefore disposed of without any further order.

                      P.C. :

                      1.       Mrs. Jagtap, learned counsel for the respondent-MHADA submits

                      that the allotment letter has already been issued in favour of the petitioner.

                      Even the possession has been handed over and taken by the petitioner.

                      The communication dated 20th August, 2026 is placed on record enclosing

                      the possession letter and possession receipt.

                      2.       In such view of the matter, we see no reason to keep the petition

                      pending as the grievance of the petitioner is ventilated. The petition is

                      disposed of.
