Talking to reporters here, Pawar, without naming the BJP, said the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government s decision to shift the car depot project from Aarey Colony to Kanjurmarg seemed to have hurt a lot of people and that is why the Centre took an extreme step . In the Constitution and law, there is a provision of making an appeal against a court decision. Hence, it will be thought about, the deputy chief minister said.
Kanjurmarg area
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court on Wednesday stayed an order passed by Mumbai suburban district collector allotting 102 acre of salt pan land in Mumbai s Kanjurmarg area for the construction of an integrated Metro car shed.
A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice G S Kulkarni also restrained the authorities from carrying out any construction work at the said land.
The Centre and the Shiv Sena-led MVA government in Maharashtra are locked in a tussle over ownership of the land earmarked by the state for constructing the car depot which was earlier planned at Aarey Colony, a green belt in suburban Goregaon.
