High Court: Majority Rules in Redevelopment, Minority Opposition Cannot Halt Projects
•Mumbai High Court ruled that minority opposition cannot override majority decisions in building redevelopment.
•The court rejected a petition by five minority tenants, clearing the way for an 80-year-old Matunga East building's redevelopment.
•The Budhisagar Cooperative Housing Society building, with 14 flats, was deemed dilapidated, prompting a redevelopment proposal.
•Seven families agreed and vacated, but five tenants challenged MHADA's eviction notices, citing overlooked aspects.
•Justices G. S. Kulkarni and Aarti Sathe emphasized public safety and collective interest over individual objections, upholding MHADA's notices and majority decision.
