The Bombay High Court has quashed a stay imposed by MHADA on the redevelopment of Lokmanyanagar, criticizing the authority's actions as arbitrary and politically motivated. Justices G S Kulkarni and Aarti Sathe stated MHADA officials cannot yield to political pressure, overriding their statutory duties. The court found MHADA's actions violated residents' constitutional rights, noting that redevelopment was already underway before the stay was issued based on a chief minister's note.
