(A) Maharashtra Slum Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act (1971), S.3-A - Discretion vested with Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) - Great element of discretion is vested with the SRA and it must exercise its power not only with higher degree of caution and fairness but should ensure that the Scheme, meant for upliftment of the poor living in slum, is not abused by the powerful lobby of developers with the aid and favour of the Government functionaries.
