The Bombay High Court recently upheld the tender process for appointing a construction and development agency for the redevelopment of two significant Mhada layouts in Mumbai, namely Bandra Reclamation and Adarsh Nagar, Worli. The court noted that the bidding process was at an advanced stage, with technical bids scheduled for opening on May 20. The state government aims to execute a cluster redevelopment project through a single agency, which would replace the individual redevelopment efforts of approximately 5,000 co-operative housing societies in these areas. The societies challenged this move, claiming it infringed upon their redevelopment rights and violated their property rights under Article 300A of the Constitution. They argued that the government resolutions issued in April and December 2025 effectively stripped them of their rights without due process. However, the advocate general defended the cluster redevelopment policy, emphasizing the need for planned infrastructure development and improved living conditions, especially as many buildings are over 50 years old and in disrepair. The court plans to revisit the issue on June 9, after the state government submits its response.
