Allot grandson flat promised to deceased man 48 yrs ago: Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) to allocate a flat to a man whose family has been waiting for close to 48 years. The family was evicted from their room in 1975 and has been waiting for re-accommodation ever since. The court noted that the delay in allotment was due to a discrepancy in the size of the flat, but ruled in favor of the petitioner and ordered Mhada to allocate a 579 sq ft flat.
