Apex court order in Sun Dew Apartment case will help civic activists, says RTI activist Vijay Kumbhar,

The Supreme Court (/topic/supreme-court)(SC) recently passed an order about the controversial Sun Dew Apartment, a 10-storied building onupmarket Prabhat Road in Pune. The building was built by a company owned by Girish Vyas, son-in-law of the then chief minister ManoharJoshi. Civic activist Vijay Kumbhar and corporator Nitin Jagtap had filed a public interest litigation (PIL) in 1998 in the Bombay high court tochallenge the change of land reservation to facilitate construction. The litigation led to a controversy and Manohar Joshi had to resign. The highcourt decided that the construction of the building was invalid. The SC in its recent order upheld the high court order and directed that thebuilding be either handed over to the Pune (/topic/pune)Municipal Corporation (PMC) or be demolished. The apex court also made someimportant observations in its order. Vijay Kumbhar spoke to DNA about the implications of the judgement.

What are the important observations made by SC in Sun Dew Apartment case? The building was built on a plot of land which was reserved for a primary school in the development plan (DP) of the city. The

reservation was shifted to facilitate the construction of the building. The PIL was filed about changing reservations as per convenience.Now, the SC bench comprising justice RV Raveendran and HL Gokhale while passing the order on the petition, has made someimportant observations about urban planning and change of land reservations.

The court has said that whenever any reservation of land is changed, it should be done only as rarest of rare case and all procedure forthe same under Maharashtra (/topic/maharashtra)Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 should be followed meticulously. It has saidthat it is the right of citizens to know why reservations of public utility are being changed. In short, the court has opined against frequentchanges made in the reservation of land for public purpose.

How would observations of the apex court affect urban planning? Thanks to the observations by the SC in the Sun Dew Apartment case, it would become very difficult for authorities to changereservation of land for public purpose. Once, the development plan of the city is prepared and approved, it would become necessary toimplement it as it is. Changing reservations of land as per ones convenience would be very difficult. The apex court order would helpmake development plans more effective and help urban planning. Also, the order has underlined the need to be very careful whilepreparing development plans.

How will the SC order help citizens to protect their right to civic amenities? There are hundreds of incidents in the cities where land reservation for public purpose has been changed to facilitate construction of acommercial or residential building. As the SC order is effective in the entire country, the observations made by the apex court againstshifting of reservations for public purpose would help all civic activists in the country.

Activists can get information using Right to Information Act, 2005 (RTI) about changing reservation of land and they can refer to therecent SC judgement to fight against these changes which would deprive public of necessary amenities. Some activists in Mumbai andGujarat have already started studying the SC order and taking steps to oppose discretionary changes in the reservations of land forpublic amenities.
