Bombay HC Reserves Order on Bandra Reclamation Development PIL
The Bombay High Court is considering a case about building on land in Bandra, Mumbai.
A group wants the court to stop the government from allowing private companies to build there, arguing it should be a green space.
The government, along with the BMC, says they followed all the rules and the land isn't protected.
The court heard arguments from both sides and will make a decision later.
The BMC has already approved Adani's construction plans as the site is outside the coastal zone.
Bombay High Court reserved its order on a PIL against private development at Bandra Reclamation.
The PIL was filed by activist Zoru Bhathena and BRAVO, challenging the MSRDC's plan.
The petition seeks a stay on the project and land restoration as a green space.
The BMC, MSRDC, MOEFCC and other authorities oppose the plea.
BMC granted sanction to Adani for residential building construction on the site.
