MUMBAI, March 11 -- The Bombay High Court on Tuesday refused to grant an urgent hearing to a petitioner seeking clarity on the legal status of the first 16 floors of the 34-storey Willingdon View Cooperative Housing Society in Tardeo. The court had earlier said the matter would be dealt with separately, after ordering the residents of floors 17-34 to vacate their flats due to the absence of a fire safety clearance and an occupation certificate. A division bench of justices MS Karnik and SM Modak said there was no urgency to hear the matter at this time and directed the petitioner to file an additional affidavit within a week. The petitioner, Sunil Jhaveri, informed the court that a provisional fire NOC has been granted for the first 16 floors, but clarity is needed regarding the status and validity of the clearance. "The court has taken an extremely serious view of my petition. One of the issues has been partly resolved. Now, we need clarity on the status of the ground-to-16 floors," he said. The bench stated that it did not find any urgency to hear the matter, but added, "This has to be put to an end." The matter will be heard on April 22....
