Overview

• The Bombay High Court on July 21 stayed implementation of the SRA’s slum rehabilitation scheme on roughly 3.7 acres of Kalina land originally allotted to the University of Mumbai.
• Justices Girish S Kulkarni and Arif S Doctor barred any action under the SRA’s June 17, 2022 Letter of Intent appointing Track Estates Pvt Ltd as developer for the Yogiraj Asram project.
• The bench highlighted unresolved title disputes caused by incomplete mutation of revenue records that left original owners in place and enabled encroachments.
• Mumbai University petitioned for formal demarcation and handover of the parcels, arguing the land was acquired exclusively for educational expansion and not for slum redevelopment.
• A further hearing is set for August 11, 2025, to resolve property title uncertainties and determine whether the SRA has authority to approve schemes on university land.
