The special Anti-Corruption Bureau court has ordered that an FIR be registered against Vishwas Patil, erstwhile chief of the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA), in a 2009 land misuse case. Patil had earlier courted controversy by allegedly clearing an unusually large number of files as SRA chief just before his retirement on June 30.

Under Section 156 (3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the court has also ordered investigation against Patil's wife Chandrasena, along with developers Ramji Harakhchand Shah and Rasesh Babubhai Kanakia of Kanakia Builders.
