MUMBAI, Oct. 18 -- The Bombay High Court on Thursday ordered the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) to conduct an inquiry into a school with 150 students that is allegedly being illegally operated from a slum. A division bench of justices AS Gadkari and Kamal Khata also imposed a Rs.5 lakh fine on the petitioner, Mumtaz H Khoja, the chairman of the school's trust, for deliberately concealing facts and misleading the court while seeking a review of an earlier judgment dated February 8, 2024. The court noted that Khoja, who described herself as a senior citizen and dependent on her parents, was in fact a medical practitioner who had been occupying three separate structures in the slum area-one residential, one for her clinic, and another for running a school under a trust where she served as chairperson. "She was in possession of not merely one but three separate structures, thereby illegally occupying an area exceeding 2,200 sqft of slum land," the bench said. "There was no justification whatsoever for her failure to disclose these facts in the original petition." The court found that Khoja had filed two separate writ petitions, one in her personal capacity and another purportedly on behalf of the trust, to claim multiple entitlements. "In substance, she was claiming multiple entitlements while pretending to represent two independent entities," the judges remarked. Rejecting the petitioner's contention that her residential tenement was wrongly allotted to a school, the court found her claims "patently false and misleading." The judges noted that Khoja had "received the benefit of four premises and still chose, with mala fide intent, to suppress material facts." The bench also took serious note of the fact that a school with 150 students was being run in a slum area without clarity on permissions or safety standards....
