Path cleared for Adani Group to redevelop Dharavi slums
MUMBAI [Maha Media]: The Bombay High Court on Friday cleared the decks for redevelopment of Dharavi slums as it upheld the tender awarded to the Adani Group for the project by the Maharashtra government, ruling there was no "arbitrariness, unreasonableness or perversity" in the decision.
A division bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Amit Borkar dismissed a petition filed by UAE-based Seclink Technologies Corp challenging the state government's decision to award the mega redevelopment project in Mumbai to Adani Properties Pvt Ltd, which had made a Rs 5,069-crore offer.
Seclink Technologies had emerged as the highest bidder for the project in 2018, but the tender issued in that year was later scrapped by the government.
The bench noted the company's petition lacks force and hence stands dismissed.
"The grounds urged in support of the petition lack force and accordingly, the challenge to the impugned action on the part of the authorities, whereby the earlier tender process was cancelled and fresh tender process has been resorted to, fails," the HC observed.
