Section 3C(1) Slum Act, 1971 | Preferential Right of Landowner Triggered Only After Formal Declaration : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court holds that a landowner’s preferential right under the Slum Rehabilitation Scheme cannot be invoked unless a Section 3C(1) declaration is first issued by the competent authority. This ruling binds all SRA applicants and ensures procedural integrity in slum redevelopment, preventing premature claims that bypass statutory prerequisites.
