Strict implementation of redevelopment act could make Mumbai slum-free: HC

Quick Summary:

The Bombay High Court on Friday said the vision should be to make Mumbai a slum-free city and raised concerns about the plight of slum dwellers who become "victims at the hands of private developers".

A division bench of Justices G S Kulkarni and Somasekhar Sunderesan emphasised the need for strict and robust implementation of the Maharashtra Slum Area (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act.

The bench was set up last week to undertake a "performance audit" of the Act pursuant to the Supreme Court's directives in July.
