2. Since the questions of law involved in all these cases are
common, these writ petitions are disposed of by a common
judgment. We refer to the facts in Writ Petition (L) No.16257 of
2026 (M.I.G. Adarsh Nagar Co-operative Housing Society Limited
vs. State of Maharashtra and others) for convenience. The fact
situation in M.I.G. Adarsh Nagar, in our opinion, represents a best-
case scenario which would cover the issues involved in the rest of
the writ petitions as well. Factually, there are some additional
contentions raised by learned counsel viz. discriminatory treatment
in excluding similarly situated societies from the cluster
redevelopment; the contention that High Income Group (“HIG”, for
short) societies not finding a mention in the GRs tantamount to its
exclusion from the cluster redevelopment and the consequent
action of its inclusion in the tender published for cluster
redevelopment being arbitrary etc.
