In Brief
Residents of a housing society sought to redevelop under the Maharashtra Housing & Area Development Authority Act but had concerns about future allotment of space and formation of the new Cooperative Society before vacating. The Supreme Court resolved their apprehensions by directing the authority to execute and register allotment agreements within two weeks, confirm carpet area allocation of at least 450 sq. ft. per member, and register the Cooperative Society within six months before occupancy. The residents agreed to vacate within three weeks. The appeals were disposed of with no order as to costs, balancing residents' rights with smooth redevelopment implementation."
