The petitioners have argued that the demolition is illegal and will render them homeless. Parties: The petitioners in the case are a group of slum dwellers, while the respondents are the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and the state of Gujarat. Legal issues: The main legal issue in the case is whether the demolition of the slum dwellings is legal.

Court observations: The Gujarat High Court has observed that the demolition of the slum dwellings is a serious issue, which needs to be addressed urgently.
