At that time, our people ignored the seriousness behind the said Notice and did not make any attempt to gather proof by way of requisite documents and old records of the existence of our Holy Crosses. After a period of almost 7 years, the MCGM had issued Notices under Section 314 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, to several of our Holy Crosses in the City of Mumbai to prove the legality of the said Holy Crosses. The Individual owners/caretakers of all our Holy Crosses to approach the Office of the Collector of Mumbai, City Survey Department/Office of the Talathi/Office of MCGM, Mahapalika Marg, within their jurisdiction and search for Plans/Extracts and old records from the Survey Sheets available at the said Offices in respect of Survey done by them in the years 1918 and 1954 respectively. Kindly try looking out for the divisions as per the old records, as due to developments in the respective areas, the said divisions have changed. For example “Wadala Area” is known as “Dadar Naigaum Division” and “Govari Village” is known as “Matunga Division”. In order to search for the old records, plans and extracts please approach the following Offices: (i) Areas from Mahim to Colaba and Sion to Colaba - the Development Plan Department on the 5th Floor of Municipal Head Office at Mahapalika Marg, Opp. CST Station, or the City Survey Department on the 1st Floor of the Office of the Collector of Mumbai, Old Custom House, Fort; (ii) Areas from Bandra to Andheri - the City Survey Office at Santacruz (West); (iii) Areas from Andheri to Kandivli - the City Survey Office at Goregaon; (iv) Areas after Kandivli onwards - the City Survey Office at Borivali; (v) Areas in “R” Ward - the City Survey Office at Borivali; (vi) Areas from Kurla to Mulund - the City Survey Office at Mulund; and (vii) Areas ahead of Thane – the Office of the Collector at Thane. Please give emphasis to the records available at the Office of the Collector of Mumbai as their Plans clearly mention the years 1918 or 1954 at the top of Survey Sheets. One can also get the plans from the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, Mahapalika Marg, Head Office, Development Plan Department on the 5th Floor by asking for Tikka Sheets. Kindly fill the “Setu Suvidha Kendra Form” at the Office of the Collector of Mumbai by mentioning the Cadastral Survey Numbers and Sheet Numbers (one form for each Holy Cross) and affix a Court Fee Stamp of ` 5/- and submit the form by paying nominal charges for the Survey Plans/Extract. Please collect photographs (i.e. close up and long distance photographs of the Holy Crosses) of the old Holy Crosses as well as those taken after the Holy Crosses were renovated and handover one set of documents and photographs to (i) your Parish Priest, (ii) your local friends or relatives in your vicinity, and (iii) His Eminence, the Archbishop, so that in future, in your absence, if a similar situation arises the said documents can be immediately submitted to the Municipality or any other Authorities, as an onus has been put on us to prove the legality of the Holy Crosses exist. AND DON’T FORGET TO SCAN & E-MAIL TO ALL CONCERNED/ ALL CHRISTIANS/ EVERY BODY. PLEASE DISPLAY (with permanent painting) THE SAME AT THE CONCERNED HOLY CROSS and hand over ALL the document of the concerned HOLY CROSS to the NEAREST CATHOLICS of the concerned HOLY CROSS. The owners/caretakers of the Holy Crosses should not to allow the Municipal Officers/MMRDA/other Government Bodies to shift the Holy Crosses without these Officials sending official letters, as it has been noted that the said officials had not sent any letters to the owners/caretakers of the Holy Crosses but conveniently shifted the Holy Crosses on the footpath or any other places for road widening or any other development schemes without updating their records accordingly. Adv. Sulendra Farro, Gen Sec, MEICF. NOTE: PLEASE consider emailing YOUR Holy Cross Documents to our fellow CATHOLICS. LET IT BE KNOWN TO ALL.
