Bombay High Court Orders Demarcation and Encroachment Removal on Mumbai University Land

The Bombay High Court directed the demarcation of approximately 3.7 acres of land at Mumbai University's Kalina campus and ordered the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to remove any encroachments identified. The university withdrew its petition challenging the Maharashtra Slum Areas Act provisions that allow slum rehabilitation on public lands without landowner consent. The court vacated previous interim stays on a rehabilitation project and emphasized legal steps to resolve title and encroachment issues, reaffirming the land's designated institutional use.
