    The Bombay High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Cheryl Soares and another, who challenged a slum rehabilitation scheme on their co-owned land, finding the petition lacked material particulars. The court noted that the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) clearly stated the land was never acquired under the Slum Act and directed petitioners to approach the Executive Engineer III for further details, keeping their right to file a fresh petition open after obtaining better particulars from appropriate authorities.
