A Mumbai civil court has ruled in favor of Godrej Boyce Mfg Co Ltd, preventing authorities from declaring its 7,500 sq mt Vikhroli land a slum. The 35-year dispute centered on temporary hutments belonging to company laborers. Godrej argued the occupants paid no rent, making the slum declaration illegal. The court's decision offers relief, though a separate state government petition for land ownership remains pending before the Bombay High Court.
