category, since they had come in contact with coronavirus positive persons.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, considering the high number of cases and lack of adequate quarantine facilities in the area, the building had already been taken over in April this year and converted into a 1,000-bed quarantine facility, currently occupied by 940 people, the BMC told the court.<\/p>\n<p>As per the civic body, Neelkamal Realty Tower, a redevelopment building meant to house 240-odd tenants, is yet to meet the civic requirements for an occupation certificate.<\/p>\n<p>The building&#8217;s proximity to Kasturba and Nair hospitals also made it suitable for use as a quarantine facility, BMC counsels Aspi Chinoy and Anil Sakhre told the high court.<\/p>\n<p>Advocate Vivek Shukla, counsel for some of the tenants, told HC that the tenants could not object to the requisitioning since the developer had indulged in &#8220;some illegalities in construction, and he was yet to hand over the building to them&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He also said they had not been paid the rent by the developer for last four months.<\/p>\n<p>Noting that only nine out of the 218 tenants had objected to the requisitioning, the high court permitted the BMC to use the building as long as it paid the rent from April onwards.<\/p>\n<p>The BMC is &#8220;allowed to use the subject building for housing individuals required to be kept in quarantine, until further orders are passed by this court,&#8221; the bench said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The undertaking that they (BMC) shall start making actual payments aggregating to Rs 28,38,587 per month to the original residential and commercial tenants on and from April 24, 2020, until the possession of the building is handed over to the petitioner developer, is accepted,&#8221;
