CORAM : H.L GOKHALE, J. CORAM : H.L GOKHALE, J. DATED : 5th September 2005 DATED : 5th September 2005 DATED : 5th September 2005 P.C. : 1. Heard Mr.Khairdi for the petitioners. 2. This Petition seeks to challenge a declaration of slum in a property situate at F.P.No.21 Sub-plot No.75, T.P. Scheme-I, Solapur, which has been confirmed in an Appeal by the Slums Tribunal. It is interesting to note that the petitioners have come to this property after the initial declaration of the area as the slum. The predecessor-owner was given an opportunity of hearing earlier. The impugned order also shows that the amenities are not appropriate in the locality. 3. In the circumstances I do not find any error in the order passed by the Appellate Tribunal. Petition is dismissed. 4. Mr.Khairdi, learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners, submits that the petitioners would like to give a scheme for revival of the slum. It will be open to the petitioners to offer such a scheme to the authorities and the authorities may examine it independent of the fact that there is a declaration for slum and also the Appeal has been dismissed. This is only in the event the authorities are satisfied that the scheme is a genuine one and if can be considered under the Law. This is because ultimately the idea is to improve the slum.
