Bombay High Court Upholds Bhendi Bazaar Redevelopment Scheme's Legal Validity
The Bombay High Court dismissed two petitions challenging the Bhendi Bazaar cluster redevelopment scheme, affirming its legal validity despite being executed by the private Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust (SBUT). Petitioners, former residents of the Lucky building, argued the land acquisition lacked public purpose designation under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act. The court rejected these claims, stating the project serves a public purpose by improving living conditions and that private involvement does not negate its public character.
