From: Sukla Sen <suklasen@yahoo.com> Date: Wed Jun 1, 2005 Subject: Struggle against Slum Demolitions: Press Statement by NAPM NATIONAL ALLIANCE OF PEOPLE??™S MOVEMENTS Haji Habib Building, A- Wing, Naigoan Cross Road, Dadar (E), Mumbai ??“14 Phone: 24150529 Email: napm@... CAMP OFFICE: Azad Maidan CONTACT: 9323254706 Press Statement: May 31, 2005 The case related to the rehabilitation of the slum dwellers came before the vacation bench Justice D. Y. Chandrachud today. The Advocate General of Maharashtra pleaded on the Notice OF Motion in an old case of 1999. He pleaded for change of cut-off-date from 1995 to 2001, seeking the court??™s permission, referring to the interim order in the case (July 1999). Advocate Mihir Desai intervened with Advocate Vinod Shetty on behalf of the National Alliance of People??™s Movements, YUVA & Indira Nagar Welfare Association and brought to the notice of the judge that, there was a final order of October 2001. Justice Chandrachud expressed a view that he can??™t understand the reference of cut-off-date. How can there be any such date when every person, the poor too, has a right to come to Mumbai. He stated that, ???The poor who serve, go wherever there is a source of livelihood.??? The political gimmick of declaring a cut-off-date must stop, he opined. He on the other hand, advised the Advocate General to report to the state government & organise a meeting urgently with the People??™s Organisations & NGOs, to listen to their views & solutions proposed, to reach the consensus. He also claimed that, the constitutional rights of the people can??™t be denied. He was of the opinion that, the issues are very basic & need to be taken up at the earliest. Justice Chandrachud deferred the matter till the regular bench sits in after the vacation & fixed the date as 8th June 2005. The struggle continues at Azad Maidan, with hundreds of poor women & men & children committed to seek justice through people??™s power.] Mohan Chavan Kausalya Salvi Medha Patkar |
