The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court said that those owning multi-storey constructions, commercial properties and business establishments and those who file GST and #ITR, cannot be termed as slum dwellers merely because they live in houses built on government land.

The dismissal of petitions which sought retention of their properties on “government land” along the Kukrail River in the Akbar Nagar area by the court has paved the way for Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) to demolish the houses of petitioners.
