The apex court accepted the affidavit of the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd saying that no trees are being cut for the construction, and refused to pass any interim order. The bench of Justices UU Lalit, S Ravindra Bhat and Aniruddha Bose was hearing a batch of petitions filed by activists alleging that MMRCL has resumed cutting trees violating the Supreme Court order in 2019 stopping any further cutting of trees. Appearing for Mumbai Metro, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said that the status quo ordered by the court in 2019 has been maintained.
