1.

The Developer has not taken any further steps. As to how SRA has not taken action against the developer is the question. We accordingly direct the Competent Authority of the Slum Rehabilitation Authority, to place on record the correct position on affidavit, in regard to the scheme in question, and in regard to whether the developer at all is interested to carry forward the project in question. More particularly that despite repeated notices the developer has refused to appear in the present proceedings.

2.

We also clarify that in the event on the adjourned date of hearing, if the developer is not represented, we shall proceed to pass appropriate order, including directing the SRA to take over the project and take all permissible steps as the law Mane

79-WP-4065-25.DOC may mandate, so that rehabilitation of the slum dwellers can be undertaken expeditiously. List on 27th November 2025.

3.

Copy of the affidavit be placed on record, as also be served on all the parties.
