Supreme Court upholds Bombay HC ruling on landowner right to redevelop slum

The Supreme Court upheld a Bombay High Court judgment favoring a landlord's right to redevelop a slum area, criticizing the Slum Rehabilitation Authority's (SRA) conduct as suspicious. The court emphasized the owner's preferential rights under the Slums Act and directed the state and SRA to consider the landowner's redevelopment proposal.
