CORAM : A.S. OKA AND C.V.BHADANG, JJ DATED :

14th January 2016.

P.C. :

When called out for final hearing, none appears for the petitioners. We have perused the prayers made in the petitions. A writ of mandamus is claimed directing the respondents to allot flats to the petitioners under 5% quota of the Hon"ble Chief Minister. This Court in the case of Chandrabhan S. Sangle v. Urban Development Department and others, (2014) 3 Bom.C.R. 692 and other connected matters has held that the policy of allotting 5% flats is arbitrary and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. The said decision has become final. Therefore, no relief can be granted in these petitions.

2.

Accordingly petitions are dismissed. Rule in both the petitions stands discharged. No order as to costs.
