Mumbai’s pagadi building residents face another prolonged delay as the Supreme Court deferred the hearing on whether the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is competent to issue Section 79A notices to dilapidated cessed structures. The hearing was pushed to September 10 after Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) lawyers sought an adjournment a day before the scheduled hearing. Residents fear that “tareekh pe tareekh” will continue while they remain trapped in ageing structures.
