16. It is stated that respondent No.1 can execute an agreement in
favour of the petitioner - Estella Fernandes similar to the agreements
executed with the existing tenants and such agreement can also be entered
with the other tenants, barring three tenants against whom eviction
proceedings are pending before the Small Causes Court and their
entitlement shall be subject to the outcome of the eviction suit filed by

occupants/tenants cannot be opposed to the interest of the majority
occupants, as also such persons cannot foist on the owners a delay in
commencement of the redevelopment work, resulting in the project
cost being increased, which would be seriously prejudicial to the
owners/developers and above all the majority of the occupants. (See:

Shalini Shyam Shetty & Anr vs Rajendra Shankar Patil on 23 July, 2010

decision in Shalini Shyam Shetty (supra) to support a proposition that a
writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution is maintainable against
respondent No.1 although respondent No.1 is a private party, in the facts
of the case is not well founded. In our opinion, undertaking
redevelopment and re-housing of the tenants by the landlord does not
amount to discharge of a public duty by the landlord. Further taking
benefit of the incentives if any as available under the rules and regulation
as may be available also would not create any enforceable legal right for
the tenants to dictate to the landlord course of the redevelopment once the
statutory minimum area of the tenement to be provided to the tenant as
per the redevelopment scheme is being made available to the
tenants/occupants of the building, which came to be demolished.
