Supreme Court to Hear Colaba Jetty Appeal Next Week
Imagine a new passenger spot is being built near a famous landmark called the Gateway of India.
Some people are worried because they think it might damage the historic area.
They asked the High Court to stop the construction, but the court said no.
Now, they're asking the highest court, the Supreme Court, to step in and make a decision.
The Supreme Court will listen to both sides to figure out what's best, considering things like public interest and if stopping the project would cause financial problems.
The Supreme Court will hear an appeal next week.
The appeal challenges a Bombay High Court order.
The order refused to stay construction near the Gateway of India.
The case involves a passenger jetty and terminal facilities.
The High Court cited public interest and financial impact in its decision.
