SC declines to halt Adani Group’s Dharavi redevelopment work, asks Seclink to submit latest bid on record

The Supreme Court refused to grant an interim stay on the Dharavi Slum Rehabilitation project being carried out by the

Group, as sought by a company that lost out on the contract. A bench led by Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna heard a plea filed by Dubai-based Seclink Technology Corporation, challenging the award of the project to Adani. However, the court agreed on Friday to examine Seclink’s petition and issued notices to the Maharashtra government and the Adani Group. The top court refused to halt the ongoing work at the project site after senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, representing the Adani Group, said that construction had already started. He said that Adani had employed over 2,000 workers, invested significant funds, procured construction equipment worth crores of rupees, and initiated the demolition of railway quarters on the site.
