Subject: [mpisgmedia] Arjun Camp cases (Won!)
> Anupam told me landmark judgment was pronounced today

> These humble ones were for housing for all petitioners
> according to MPD-2001 instead of re-housing for some
> of them in violation of it. They were filed in July
> 2002 and finally argued starting July 2005. The
> judgment, reserved at last hearing on 9 Dec 05, was
> pronounced today.

> The petitioners, evicted in the course of the
