1) Petitioners claim themselves to be tribals and are opposing
implementation of Slum Rehabilitation Scheme on the land occupied by
them. They have questioned the Notification declaring the land as Slum
Rehabilitation Area and are also aggrieved by orders directing their
eviction from structures occupied by them. Petitioners are thus
aggrieved by the action treating them as slum dwellers and desire
themselves to be treated as allottees/owners of land occupied by them.
Their opposition for implementation of slum scheme is thus premised on
their claim as allotees of land as tribals. If treated as other slum dwellers
most of the Petitioners are eligible to receive benefits of rehabilitation.
But they are opposing their comparison with other slum dwellers
contending that they are not mere encroachers, but are allottees of plots
of land as tribals.
