HC dismisses petition against award of Dharavi project to Adani

The Bombay High Court on Friday upheld the tender awarded to an Adani Group firm by the Maharashtra government for the Dharavi slum redevelopment project in Mumbai, ruling there was no "arbitrariness, unreasonableness or perversity" in the decision.

A division bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Amit Borkar dismissed a petition filed by UAE-based Seclink Technologies Corporation challenging the state government's decision to award the project to Adani Properties Pvt Ltd, which had made a Rs 5,069-crore offer.

Seclink Technologies had emerged as the highest bidder for the project in 2018, but the tender issued in that year was later scrapped by the government.
