The Supreme Court was told on Tuesday that Mumbai's civic body BMC was violating its order by reclaiming more land than required for the ambitious Rs 14,000 crore coastal road project to connect Marine Drive area in south to suburban Borivali in north.
The top court on December 17 last year had stayed the Bombay High Court's decision to quash the Coastal Road Zone (CRZ) clearances granted to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) project.
It had also said that the BMC was "free to reclaim the land" for building and securing the road with a caveat that "they shall however not carry out any other development work until further orders of this court."
