We were tenants of a public trust and the trust sold the property to builders in 2006. Subsequent to that builder has filed eviction cases in the Small Cause Court at Bandra. BMC has issued notice to builders to repair the building and have threatened criminal prosucation. Builders have taken umbrage of this and have filed Writ Petition No. WP/680/2011 in High Court which is in Pre Admission stage against BMC and the tenants saying building is irrepairable by creating fake audit report from VJTI saying that we are not cooperating with them as they want to redevelope the building. We can not trust builder and desire that tenancy premises be converted in Ownership as is the practice in Mumbai but the builder is not accepting this. What will be fate of writ petition as we have been told that builder should have gone to small cause court for this. Will High Court dismiss the petition? What alternate action we can take in the matter. Pl. advice.
