Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Slum Rehabilitation Authority's declaration of land as a slum rehabilitation area under the Maharashtra Slums Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act, 1971. The court found that the High Court's decision to apply the slum rehabilitation order to the entire area of 5168.50 sq. mts. was justified, thereby upholding the High Court's ruling and dismissing the appeals of the Appellants.
