Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the appellants' writ petitions challenging the Slum Rehabilitation Authority's scheme for redevelopment of slum areas, including both municipal and private plots. The Court found no legal requirement to treat municipal and private plots separately for redevelopment purposes under the applicable regulations. The appellants' claims regarding the lack of consent from 70% of occupants were rejected, affirming the High Court's findings regarding the validity of the redevelopment scheme and the existence of necessary documentation.
