Metro car shed: Bombay High Court peeved at NGO's messy petition

Mumbai | Thursday | 19th September, 2019

Summary:

Hearing petitions against the proposed Metro car shed at Aarey Colony for the second day on Wednesday, the Bombay High Court expressed its disgruntlement at the long-winded manner in which one of the petitions was drafted, terming it a "mess".

What I could understand is it is not right to raise right thing at the wrong time." However, MMRCL needs to build pillars on a disputed plot to access the 41 hectares of land, the lawyer replied. The court has now called for the papers related to the Kanjurmarg site to be submitted for perusal tomorrow..
