SC okays redevelopment of Mumbai's Motilal Nagar under C&DA model
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday upheld the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority 's ( MHADA ) decision to redevelop Mumbai 's Motilal Nagar under the Construction and Development Agency (C&DA) model, dismissing legal challenges filed by local residents' associations. A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta rejected a special leave petition filed by three petitioners - Motilal Nagar Jankalyankari Samiti, Motilal Rahivasi Vikas Sangh, and Gaurav Arun Rane- challenging the Bombay High Court decision that had cleared the path for redevelopment of 143 acres of Motilal Nagar I, II, and III via C&DA. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the MHADA, submitted that the land belonged to the housing authority and the project had been granted "special status" by the Maharashtra government. He said that obtaining individual consent from thousands of residents could delay the long-pending redevelopment. The apex court took note of the submission that 1,600 sq ft of built-up area was being offered in lieu of 230 sq ft of existing occupancy - much higher than the standard entitlement under the Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR). Earlier, the Bombay High Court had dismissed a review petition filed by Motilal Nagar Vikas Samiti, reaffirming the legality of the C&DA route for redevelopment of Motilal Nagar. The Motilal Nagar redevelopment project - executed in partnership with Estatevue Private Developers, a subsidiary of Adani Realty - aims to rehouse approximately 3,700 residents in modern apartments measuring 1,600 sq ft. The C&DA agreement also includes 987 sq ft of commercial space, and improved infrastructure. The MHADA will retain full ownership of the land, while Estatevue Private Developers handles execution of the redevelopment project. The Rs 36,000-crore project has a seven-year timeline, during which 3,372 residential units, 328 commercial units, and 1,600 tenements from an adjacent slum will be relocated. The C&DA bears the entire cost of rehabilitation, infrastructure, and amenities - free of cost to the MHADA.

Now, SC dismisses residents' plea, paves way for G'gaon land redvpt
Mumbai: The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed by residents against a recent Bombay High Court order, paving the way for redevelopment of 141 acres of Goregaon land by Mhada-appointed developer. The Housing Authority recently appointed Adani Realty through bids, for what is touted as the largest residential rehab project. The SC bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta heard counsel Siddharth Bhatnagar for the residents, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and Chirag Shroff for Mhada, and former Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi for Adani before dismissing the SLP, which sought permission to appeal against the HC order. The dismissal put to rest the issue of 51% consent of tenants before the appointment of a developer by Mhada, lawyers said. The society formed by residents had three main contentions. Firstly, as a society, they ought to be allowed to self-develop the premises under the govt policy. Secondly, the society of residents can, under rule 33 (5) (2) of the Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR), appoint a developer of their choice. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover Top Creams for Deep Wrinkles and Sagging Skin in South Africa Creams | Search Ads Search Now Undo Thirdly, any development undertaken by such a society, with Mhada NOC, by appointing a developer, requires 51% consent of the members, which Mhada did not take. Mhada, through senior counsel Darius Khambata, had before the HC argued that no new points were raised in the review plea and that the HC had recognised rights of Mhada as owner of the land to redevelop the premises through private builders by inviting bids.

Last Friday, the HC bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Bharati Dangre dismissed a review plea filed by Motilal Nagar Vikas Samiti, a residents' group that sought self-development rights and challenged the court nod to Mhada appointing a consultant and Development Agency for the project through bids. The project envisages houses of 1,600 sq ft each, a host of amenities, and will rehouse almost 4,000 families on Mhada land. By its March judgment, the HC allowed Mhada's 2021 application to ensure redevelopment gets done via private developers' bids and disposed of PIL filed in 2013, seeking action against illegal construction.

A division bench of justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta dismissed a special leave petition filed by resident associations Jankalyankari Samiti headed by Madhavi Rane, Motilal Rahivasi Vikas Sangh and Gaurav Rane upholding Bombay High Court's March 2025 order in favour a holistic redevelopment of Motilal Nagar I, II and III via C&DA. While the Solicitor General of India, Tushar Mehta, argued in favour of MHADA, senior counsel Siddharth Bhatnagar appeared for the petitioners. The Solicitor General argued that the project has been given a 'special status' by the state government and the land was owned by MHADA and therefore consent is not required. The bench also termed fair the state government's decision to provide 1,600 sq ft built up area in lieu of about 230 sq ft, higher than the existing entitlement as per 33 (5) of Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR) 2034. On Friday, a division bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Bharti Dangre of the Honourable Bombay High Court had quashed a review petition by Motilal Nagar Vikas Samiti, led by Nilesh Prabhu and upheld the redevelopment of Motilal Nagar in Goregaon West , Mumbai via C&DA route. As per the C&DA agreement between MHADA and Estatevue Private Developers, a unit of Adani Realty around 3,700 residents of this 142-acre layout will be rehoused in newly developed apartments measuring 1,600 sq ft built-up area, while commercial spaces will get new 987 sq ft establishments. MHADA retains full control over the project, including ownership of the land. It has chosen a private agency to execute the project given its large-scale redevelopment. The Maharashtra government has accorded a 'Special Project' status and it is estimated redevelopment cost is around Rs 36,000 crore, and the rehabilitation period is seven years from the project commencement date. This project aims to eliminate illegal construction and rehabilitate 3,372 residential units, 328 eligible commercial units and 1,600 eligible tenements from a nearby slum. The redevelopment will solve the area's major issues like flooding and waterlogging, improving living conditions for residents. As per the pact, the C&DA will bear the full cost of the project and must provide all rehabilitated housing, including commercial spaces and slum tenements, MHADA premises, and necessary infrastructure and amenities to MHADA, free of cost. Motilal Nagar is one of the earliest MHADA colonies developed in the 1960s. The developer C&DA is expected to introduce modern construction technologies and urban planning expertise to rehabilitate 3,372 eligible residential units, 328 commercial units and around 1,600 eligible slum tenements, in line with the 1971 Slum Act. MHADA built nearly 100 colonies between 1960s and late 1980s, housing over two lakh dwelling units. Many of these structures are now in dilapidated condition and have been declared unfit for habitation by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), making their redevelopment an urgent necessity. MHADA, through the C&DA, is aiming to transform Motilal Nagar into a modern residential hub, built around the concept of a '15-minute city', a model that promises access to transport, healthcare, education, shopping, and entertainment within a 15-minute radius keeping its green cover intact. These also include large open spaces, gardens, pedestrian plazas and community centres.

Motilal redevpt on course as HC junks plea
Mumbai: Bombay high court on Friday dismissed a review plea and paved the way for the redevelopment of 141 acres of MHADA land in Goregaon West, called Motilal Nagar. MHADA recently appointed Adani Realty as the consultant and Development Agency (CDA) for the project. It is touted as the city's largest housing project. Motilal Nagar Vikas Samiti, a residents' group filed the review petition seeking recall and quashing of the HC ruling dated March 6, 2025, by Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Bharati Dangre. The residents sought, as interim relief, a stay on MHADA and the developer awarded the contract from going ahead. You Can Also Check: Mumbai AQI | Weather in Mumbai | Bank Holidays in Mumbai | Public Holidays in Mumbai By its March judgment, HC allowed MHADA's 2021 application to ensure redevelopment gets done via private developers' bids and disposed of PIL filed in 2013, seeking action against rampant illegal construction on the land. The society's three main contentions were that firstly, as a society, they can and ought to be allowed to self-develop the premises under the govt policy. Secondly, the society of residents can, under rule 33 (5) (2) of Development Control and Promotion Regulations (DCPR), appoint a developer of their choice. Thirdly, any development undertaken by such society, with MHADA NOC, by appointing a developer, requires 51% consent of the members.

The counsel also contended that the society, in an affidavit, earlier said it wanted MHADA to do the development itself. MHADA said it floated bids and appointed Adani Realty as the CDA. The review plea before the same division bench challenged the appointment of the developer. HC said a reasoned order will be made available later. By Friday's development in court, Motilal Nagar I, II, III redevelopment projects can proceed, said a MHADA lawyer. In 2018, MHADA said the estimated project cost was Rs 21,000 crore. The developer will bear all costs, including costs for transit and rehabilitation of eligible tenements, shops, slum dwellers, other amenities. In 2013, Manjula Veeran and Tekchand Khanchandani filed two PILs in HC, seeking directions to MHADA and BMC to demolish "rampant unauthorised horizontal and vertical constructions" at Motilal Nagar I, II, and III, Goregaon West, MHADA Colony, Mumbai. The colony originally housed 400 tenants, mostly row houses.
