The main purpose of the Construction of the building is in favour of soldiers and their own family who are scarified their life for the nation in kargil war for their bravery as a reward. And rest of the houses for the welfare of serving and retired persons in the defence sector. This request made in the 2002 February to the Chief Minister of Maharashtra to allot land in the center of Mumbai for construction. The plan is made for built 6 storey building.
Unethical Conduct in this case:- After getting sanction from the government it took around ten years to get process but the house owner are not the soldiers instead of them all top politicians, bureaucrats and military officers bend many rules and disobey all rules and commission in order to have the building constructed and get the houses very lowered prices and registered under different person name like "Benami" of the property who are relatives of the politicians. In the year 2010 one of the biggest scam in India.
Issue raised:- This issue was raised and reported in 2003 but didn't consider or grab the attention of people. Later in 2010 media raised the issue through various TV channels and newspapers brought a clear idea what is going on this housing project. For constructing this 31 storey building government made many changes.
Violations:-In the construction at various parts of Adarsh society it is located in colaba, south part of Mumbai city in India.

... flats to the solider families and other legal owners of Adarsh society. In this Adarsh Housing Society government administrators misused all the powers they have for their own benefits. As a public administrators, legislatures and executers they didn't work for the public ultimately they face the consequences for their mistakes and pay in terms of punishments loss of jobs and carriers and returning the property to the rightful person. They thought they are having powers to change but no one is permanent in that power so ultimately they can face the problems what they did in the past. It's not fair to occupy the lands which belongs to Soldiers who lost their life for nations pride. Finally, thirteen retired army officials and bureaucrats, executives and legislatives of the Maharashtra government who were involved in this case were punished by supreme court of India.

While it may be easier to persuade yourself that Boo’s published stories are works of fiction, her writings of the slums that surround the luxury hotels of Mumbai’s airport are very, very real. Katherine Boo’s book “Behind the Beautiful Forevers – Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity” does not attempt to solve problems or be an expert on social policy; instead, Boo provides the reader with an objective window into the battles between extremities of wealth and poverty. “Behind the Beautiful Forevers,” then, exposes the paucity and corruption prevalent within India.
Thus, in order to have temporary residency Home Depot will have to pay. Moreover, The Indian Government has control over the political division of the country, and without support from the government New Delhi’s Home Depot would not be approved. The textbook states, the best way to achieve cooperation is to use tactics such as law of reciprocity. This means, “one good deed deserves another.” The Home Depot could get the government on board by explaining that economic growth is a stone throw away from
In the movie “The Real Slumdogs” the many people of Dharavi work hard to survive in their slum. There are many businesses and other ways to make a living all in this very small area. Some examples of work in this slum are sorting garbage to find plastic to recycle, making pottery, and cooking bread to sell to the masses. Dharavi has a population around one million people. This is a large amount of people who rely on Dharavi as a place to live, learn, and earn a living. The conflict theory that presented itself in this movie is that wealthy people have put a very large price on the real estate Dharavi
“God’s own country, “Kerala, is a coastal state. It is dotted with small fishing villages. In the 1970s, high waves would wash away many villages with routine hits. So, every year the affected fishermen and women would receive a government compensation for clothing, blankets, nets and even replacement huts. In 1974, an architect living and working in Thiruvananthapuram approached the Chief Minister and suggested an alternate solution. He proposed that instead of giving away State resources as compensation each year,

In Behind the Beautiful Forevers, Katherine Boo tells the stories and struggles of families living in a slum adjacent to the Sahar Airport in Mumbai, India. Boo details the ways in which the residents of this slum, Annawadi, attempt to escape their poverty, but fail to do so. Despite numerous initiatives sponsored by the Central Government of India to improve the lives of the many individuals living in Annawadi, these programs are ultimately unable to do so due to deep-rooted corruption in the city of Mumbai. Regardless of this, the residents of Annawadi seem to accept corruption as a fact of life, and do little to fight it. As illustrated over the course of Boo’s narrative, this results from the fact that many Annawadians recognize the ways in which the laws of their society allow for the unfair treatment of certain groups of people, especially the poor and religious minorities, and are also cognizant of the fact that they have no real power to change a system that
The hopes and dreams of Annawadi’s citizens breed corruption. In hopes of leaving Annawadi, Asha resorts to scams and cheating to make them come true. For her, it is the only effective method to make those dreams happen. However, in reality, the people living in Annawadi were doomed from the start. Either having a dream come true or even a jump in social class is a rarity that does not favor the people. Hope is what makes them delusional and blind from reality. This is what’s holding back most of the people of Annawadi. They sit around and hope that other people will make a change, that the Corporator will stop the raze, and that they won’t be forgotten. After Kalu died,no one realised that his death was already set in stone. Boo wrote “ To Annawadi boys, Kalu had been a star. To the authorities of the over city, he was a nuisance to be dispensed with” (168). Kalu’s mistake was giving police intel on criminals, and therefore died a brutal death. His punishment for being naive was paid by a quick case, false cause of death, and no autopsy. In addition, Sanjay was also treated like Kalu. Boo wrote, “So Sanjay’s mother learned only what another mother, who slept on the pavement, dared to whisper: ‘Your boy died with fear in his heart.’” (174). The people who live in Annawadi who had dreams are forced to face the truth. When Abdul was in jail, Mirchi had to sort garbage to earn money for the family. The boy who dreamed of working in a fancy hotel and declared to never sort garbage was forced to eat his words. Once Mirchi started working his mother would complain about how terrible he was. Mirchi had to take up any job he could, even multiple ones. After realizing his dreams were for a boy he told his sister that they were “down to earn-and-eat.” (238). Unlike Mirchi, people like Abdul doesn’t waste their time on false hope, instead, they
Generally speaking, the legal system didn¡¦t play a very active role in this case. First of all, the India government could do more on digging the truth of the gas leak out and set a more strict standard to regulate such dangerous plants in case that another crisis. Second, I didn¡¦t see any one who worked in the Union Carbide¡¦s Bhopal plant should be responsible for that tragedy. Does it mean that all that the India court wanted was money or it just wanted to reduce trial and subsequent appeals because it might have taken more than twenty years?

The corruption in hospitals, where “doctors can keep their government salary and work in private hospitals”, sees people like Balram’s father die of horrible deaths every day. Dismayed by the lack of respect of the government for its dying citizens, Balram is corrupted by the fact that in the “darkness”, there is no service, not even in death. Balram also claims that “the schoolteacher had stolen our lunch money”, which was for a government funded lunch program. However, Balram doesn’t blame him, which justifies that Balram, from such a young age gives into the idea of corruption saying that “...you can’t expect a man in a dung heap to smell sweet”. In addition to his father and the school teacher, Balram is corrupted by his childhood hero Vijay. Growing up, Balram idolises Vijay for having escaped “the darkness”. However what he is ignorant of is that even though Vijay is in “the light” he is still corrupted by “the darkness”. Balram explains that “Vijay and a policemen beat another men to death”, yet he doesn’t see it as a problem, because he understand that one cannot become successful in such a corrupt system without becoming as corrupt as the system itself. It is here that Adiga asks the question of how are impoverished Indians are expected to refuse to engage in corruption when they live in such poor conditions. Thus, the reader is able to sympathize with Balram’s corruption,
There is a collective existence of different forms legal systems, because of the country’s diversity in culture, language and religion. This diversity is able to flourish in India only because of representation of different communities. Diversity and pluralism are acknowledged in India which safeguards the interests of different social groups and communities. This led to law being seen as necessarily pluralistic. However, after colonisation there was an effort made by the British to make law uniform, an essential condition in what was seen as ‘modern law’. Nonetheless, after independence an effort was made to have a pluralistic legal system as this would lead to better representation of different communities. This is how the Panchayati Raj system, a form of local self-government came about. Panchayats were reintroduced in 1992 after the British rule, and there a panchayat in every town of village. The people of the village elect the members of the ‘panch’, whose responsibility is the local administration of the village. In many places, gram panchayats are also known as gram sabhas. In this manner, different forms of legal pluralism shape everyday ordering and disputing in rural and urban India. They relate to formal law as well as customary legal orders equally. The two governance systems interact, which can be termed as formal law and traditional law. Customary law is also termed as unnamed law as it does not refer to a specific basis of
This approach involves giving the interested participants of displacement a right to refuse displacement based on the rehabilitation package put forward by the project authorities. The rehabilitation package differs from one state to another. For example, only Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka have the laws to rehabilitate the displaced people with irrigation projects [9]. Thus, the participants negotiate a substantial share of project benefits and then take a collective decision on resettlement. The advantages of voluntary resettlement are obvious as compared to involuntary resettlement as apart from guaranteeing that the displacement will not cause any adversities, this approach facilitates the implementation of resettlement measures that have been agreed upon earlier during negotiation. Secondly, both the parties involved have an incentive to co-operate which makes them responsible to participate and offer their bit to the best of their ability. However, the feasibility of this approach depends on the existence of credible representative organisations of the displaced people and project beneficiaries and on the establishment of an effective negotiation procedure
Specifically, Bangalore and Mumbai, two of India’s largest cities, are faced with a crisis. The slums that people are living in are both inhumane and often dangerous. There is a lack of support whether it is access to clean drinking water or medical help, the inhabitants of these slums face perilous conditions. The route of the problems associated with slums lies in the infrastructure and lack thereof. Without proper public transportation, proper medical care, sanitary conditions, clean drinking water, the slums will not be able to evolve. The solution lies not only in the hands of the government but as well as with NGO’s and the private sector. It is only thru the combined efforts of these parties that a true, permanent, solution can be achieved.
