Bombay High Court Orders MHADA to Release Kandivali Plot; Stop-Work Notice Issued at Matunga Project
The Bombay High Court ordered MHADA to hand over possession of a Kandivali West plot to Rajesh Bachhav after nearly 21 years, upholding his 2005 lease deed and calling MHADA's denial a 'travesty of justice.' Separately, MHADA issued a stop-work notice for the stalled commercial section of the Mahavir Compound redevelopment in Matunga due to alleged non-compliance with rehabilitation conditions, delaying possession for about 95 shop owners despite residential towers being completed in 2023.
