However, the Centre&#8217;s rules mandate that states cannot change the entire character of a forest land and at the best they can make minor changes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Therefore, the amendment to the DP must be set aside by the court,&#8221; said the petitioners&#8217; advocate Janak Dwarkadas.<\/p>\n<p>The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC), however, told the high court today that the apprehensions of residents and activists that the state was allowing the metro car shed to be constructed in Aarey Colony area in contravention of green norms were unfounded.<\/p>\n<p>In an affidavit filed in the HC on the previous hearing, the MMRC had submitted that the said 25-hectare plot in Aarey Colony area had never been recognised by the government as a protected forest area, or an eco-sensitive zone.<\/p>\n<p>The bench, however, remarked that going by the government&#8217;s land records, it was apparent that there had always existed a tacit understanding that the Aarey Colony land was predominantly green and that efforts would be made by the state to keep its character intact.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The state had given the impression in its earlier DPs that the Aarey area wasn&#8217;t to be disturbed as it is being done as part of this proposed activity (construction of the car shed).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, the question is whether the RTI replies, Google images, and photos submitted by the petitioners can be accepted as official records? The petitioners must put these on oath by way of an affidavit if they want to rely upon the same,&#8221; the bench added.<\/p>\n<p>The bench will pass an order on the fate of the car shed after the state government files a reply to the petitioner&#8217;s affidavit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bombay High Court today directed a group of activists opposing the construction of the proposed metro car shed in Aarey Colony area to file an affidavit supporting their claim that the Maharashtra government flouted environmental norms in approving the construction work.
