The Bombay High Court has ruled in favor of a new developer for the 18-year-stalled Jogeshwari slum rehabilitation project in Mumbai, dismissing petitions that challenged the State's amnesty scheme recommendations. The project, which spans 50,000 square meters and aims to rehabilitate around 7,200 slum dwellers, has been delayed due to the involvement of financial institutions.
The court upheld the April 20th, 2024 recommendations of the Apex Grievance Redressal Committee (AGRC), which proposed withdrawing benefits granted to these institutions and allowing the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) to seek a replacement developer. Justice NJ Jamadar emphasized that the matter is within the AGRC's jurisdiction and that the final decision will be made by the State Government.
Only one rehabilitation building has been completed, housing 107 families, while two others remain incomplete, and transit rent arrears have exceeded Rs 90 crore.
