Lullu Vas (Since Deceased) Through Lrs ... vs The State Of Maharashtra

The Supreme Court held that the Maharashtra Slum Areas Act and the Development Control Regulations govern the redevelopment of slum properties. The Court found that the High Court erred in setting aside the High-Power Committee's order regarding the leasehold rights of the appellants, affirming that the appellants are lessees for 999 years and entitled to due process in the redevelopment process. The Court directed the Slum Rehabilitation Authority to ensure compliance with the established legal framework for redevelopment.
