Vyas case: HC order on Saturday

Bombay High Court would on Saturday start delivering its verdict on two public interest petitions that alleged undue favours by the former Maharashtra chief minister Manohar Joshi in allowing his son-in-law Girish Vyas to illegally develop a multi-crore complex in Pune.

Arguments by all the parties concluded today following which the bench headed by Justice B N Srikrishna announced in the jam-packed courtroom that the pronouncement of the judgement would begin on Saturday.

The petitions, filed by journalist Vijay Kumbhar and Pune corporator Nitin Jagtap, alleged that Vyas had developed the complex on a plot reserved for a school in violation of rules. Kumbhar's counsel argued that such illegal action amounted to criminal breach of trust and hence officers, including former chief minister, should be prosecuted.

While Kumbhar harped on demolition of the illegal structure that had come up allegedly in violation of rules, Jagtap did not favour demolition andpleaded that the plot and building should come back to Pune Municipal Corporation free of cost.

Thirty-six tenants who have been accommodated by Girish Vyas in a separate building nearby, however, pleaded that they should be spared and their structure should not be demolished.
