PIL/ Writ against a development authority in a city

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 16 April 2011 This query is : Resolved
Dear All,

I would like to seek your opinion on the following: -

We have a registered association of 20000 flat owners in a city, to be developed by the local development authority. The private builders are constructing the flats in the said area and have either already given possession of flats or will be giving in due course. The entire area comes under the local development authority, who has to develop the basic infrasturcture like Road, Severage, Water supply etc.

Our concern is that the local development authority is giving assurance from time to time for development of the said area but no development is even initiated since last 4-5 years. Moreover, to this effect, the local development authority has already received the EDC/IDC charges from the flat owner through their respective builders which must be above to the tune of Rs. 2000 crores.

In this event, what would be the best recourse against such local development authority. Should we need to file an appropriate Writ Petition to enforce our fundamental rights in various notifications issued by the said local development authority regarding development of the said area and to get appropirate directions from the Court to direct the said local development authority to develope the area in a stipulated time.

Pls suggest.

Filing of RTI application to know the status of the development undertaken is a better idea to now the process of decision making. Writ petition can be filed at a subsequent stage.

Is there any case law wherein the appropriate directions have been given by a court of law to the development authority.
