Introduction
In a landmark ruling that exposes systemic misuse of authority within the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA), the Bombay High Court has quashed hundreds of notices issued under Section 79-A of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Act, 1976 (MHAD Act).
The judgment, delivered on July 28, 2025, by Justices G.S. Kulkarni and Arif S. Doctor, highlights a “colossal abuse of powers” by MHADA’s Executive Engineers, describing the situation as akin to a “racket or scam” aimed at facilitating unauthorized redevelopment for vested interests. The court has appointed a high-level inquiry committee to probe the matter, signaling a strong stance against bureaucratic overreach and potential corruption in Mumbai’s real estate sector.
