Stop All Reclamation Work For Coastal Road Project, Says Bombay HC; Directs BMC To Maintain Status Quo [Read Order]

Live Law  

The Bombay High Court has directed the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai to stop all reclamation work and maintain status quo with regard to the coastal road project for now. However, it is inconceivable that one segment of this coastal road would require environmental clearance and the other segment will not, Dwarkadas said. On the other hand, SG Aney argued that whether the southern part of the project would require environmental clearance or not is being debated before the National Green Tribunal. Thus, the respondents were directed to stop all reclamation work and maintain status quo till April 23, the next date of hearing in the case.
