Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Maharashtra Slums Clearance & Improvement Act, 1971, specifically Section 47, governs the construction and protection of structures in slum areas, 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 held that the appellant's rights were violated due to the lack of due process and the absence of a valid basis for demolition, thereby allowing the appeals and setting aside the High Court's orders.
