Summary:
The Supreme Court will take up at 10 am on Monday a petition challenging the clearing of trees for the Metro-3 carshed at Aarey. The top court on Sunday agreed to hear the matter after a group of law students knocked on the door of Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi. If the apex court issues an injunction, the MMRC will be required to stop felling of the trees. The BMC Tree Authority has allowed the Metro-3 authorities to clear/transplant over 2,600 trees at the depot site. In another scenario, if the apex court doesn't find any merit with the petition, Metro officials will be able to continue with their work at full swing..
