HC: Tenants can't stand in way if owner wants to redevelop bldg

The Bombay high court has set aside repair permissions granted by the Mumbai civic chief to tenants of a Worli building. The court held that the tenants cannot obstruct the owner's wish to redevelop the structure. The owner has the right to undertake redevelopment, and the tenants' remedy is limited to having the building repaired or rebuilt. The owner challenged a recommendation for repairs without evacuating tenants, arguing for redevelopment that would provide them permanent ownership premises. The court clarified that it was not directing redevelopment in any specific form.
