Petitions against metro lines disposed of by HC

Hindustan Times  

Two writ petitions against Metro 4 connecting Wadala and Thane, and Metro 2B connecting D N Nagar and Mandale, have been disposed of by the Bombay high court recently, according to an MMRDA press release. HT Image Indo Nippon Chemical Company Limited had filed a PIL in 2018 while Shree Yashwant Housing Society in Ghatkopar had filed a writ petition in 2019 in the HC, stating that they were aggrieved by the alignment of Metro Line 4, which was not only affecting their respective properties but that the entire execution and implementation of the metro was in violation of the statutory provisions, including the land acquisition carried out under the MRTP Act, 1966. Taking all the facts into consideration, the high court ruled in favour of MMRDA and the government, as it did not find any error in the action of finalising the alignment of Metro Line 4, the land acquisition proceedings and the implementation of the metro project, the press note said While passing the judgement, the high court mentioned that the petitioners unnecessarily raised larger issues questioning the authority of MMRDA in implementing Metro Line 4. MMRDA also received a green signal in another court case against Metro 2B, where the NOC issued to it for construction of the metro rail lines near Juhu Airport was challenged.
