For 13 years a builder failed to redevelop a 70-year-old housing society so a new builder was appointed, the old builder objected, but HC favored residents

The Bombay High Court has backed housing society members in a redevelopment dispute. A builder delayed a project for 13 years, prompting the society to appoint a new developer. The court ruled that residents' right to safe housing is more important than a builder's profit. The old builder's objections were rejected, allowing the society to proceed with a new developer.
