Gokuldas Shah v. the State of Maharashtra through Gov. Pleader
Case brief
What is this about?
Disputed tenant's challenge to building redevelopment; maintainability/locus under Article 226 of the Constitution; majority of tenants opted for redevelopment and permitted Respondent Nos.3 and 4 to redevelop; landlord's lawful right to redevelop his property; writ petition dismissed; Bombay High Court OOCJ; W.P. No.1291 of 2024; decided 12 February 2025.
What did the court decide?
Even assuming the Petitioners are lawful tenants of Respondent No.3, they cannot challenge the redevelopment of the suit building, because the majority of the tenants have already opted for redevelopment and have permitted Respondent Nos.3 and 4 to redevelop the suit property. ¶16
