The Bombay High Court stayed an order passed by the Mumbai suburban district collector allotting salt pan land of 102 acre parcel in Kanjurmarg area, Mumbai, for an integrated Metro car shed’s construction.
Moreover, the authorities have been restrained from carrying out any construction work at the said land.
A petition has been filed by the Union government in the High Court challenging the order passed by the collector on 1 October 2020, allotting the land for the car shed’s construction, and noted that the land belongs to the Central government’s salt department.
The court granted stay as well as admitted the petition for final hearing in February 2021.
The state government recently took the decision to shift the Metro car shed from Aarey to Kanjurmarg. Instead of building separate car sheds for different Metro lines, the state government decided to establish an integrated car shed for Metro Lines 3, 4, 4A, 6.
