The lands were requisitioned in 1987 under the Bombay Land Requisition Act, 1948 by MHADA, which was at the time special planning authority for the area concerned - under the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Act, 1976 (MHADA Act).

A bench of Justices MS Sonak and Jitendra Jain has clarified that the authorities are free to initiate proceedings to acquire the petitioners' properties under the relevant law relating to compulsory acquisition.
