Society member Devyani Gulabsi challenged the redevelopment, questioning developer's appointment

The Bombay High Court has refused to halt the redevelopment of the controversial Pratibha Tower at Breach Candy, allowing the Saidale Cooperative Housing Society to proceed with reconstruction as approved by its general body on June 14.

The 36-storey building, whose construction began in 1984, became infamous for one of Mumbai's earliest real scandals involving irregularities in floor space index (FSI) consumption.

Investigations revealed that the builder had allegedly overstated the plot area to obtain extra FSI, leading to unauthorised construction.
