A 10-year-long court battle to get a flat that is rightfully theirs has finally ended for the family of Baby Poojari, whose hutment at Andheri East was demolished by mistake by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) during a road widening project back in 2007. The Bombay High Court has come down heavily on MIDC for handing over the SRA flat meant for the Poojaris to a third party instead. Justice G S Patel has directed MIDC to hand over the flat or alternative premises within eight weeks.
