M/S Trig Guards Force Ltd vs Maharashtra Indus. Dev. Corpn. & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Maharashtra Slums Clearance & Improvement Act, 1971, specifically Section 47, protects structures existing before the notified date of 1.1.1995, and that the MIDC's demolition notice failed to comply with the mandatory 30-day notice requirement under Section 53(1) of the MRTP Act. The Court found that the appellant's rights as a lawful owner were disregarded, and the actions of the MIDC were arbitrary and lacked due process. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's orders and ruled in favor of the appellant, allowing the appeal.
