The Maharashtra Slum Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act, 1971 (Mah.

The said Act also provide for implementation of the Slum Rehabilitation Scheme as well as Slum Redevelopment Projects.
2. Section 34A of the said Act provides for constitution of the Apex Grievance Redressal Committee having jurisdiction all over the State of Maharashtra. The Apex Grievance Redressal Committee is constituted for the purposes of exercising the powers and performing the functions as may be assigned to it under the said Act. Large number of cases are currently pending before the Apex Grievance Redressal Committee due to which the Committee is unable to address the grievances and timely dispose off the appeals filed before it. Therefore, for smooth functioning of the Committee and for timely addressing the grievances and also to expedite the disposal of the appeals, it is considered expedient to provide for constitution of Apex Grievance Redressal Committees by amending section 34A of the Maharashtra Slum Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act, 1971, suitably.
