Mumbai, May 7 (UNI) The Bombay High Court on Wednesday refused to stay ongoing construction work related to the proposed passenger jetty and terminal facilities near the Gateway of India.
A division bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice M S Karnik, while refusing to grant interim stay, said in its order that “the project is in public interest”.
The bench was hearing an interim application filed by the Clean and Heritage Colaba Residents Association (CHCRA), which alleged that authorities had breached an earlier assurance by beginning piling work at the site despite promising not to demolish the sea-facing wall until June 20.
