Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Monday directed that the matters pertaining to noise pollution, caused by the construction of the Metro III project, would be heard by a two-member judicial committee. The court said this after the parties concerned failed to arrive at an amicable solution.
A division bench of Chief Justice Manjula Chellur and Justice M S Sonak was hearing a petition filed by lawyer Robin Jaisinghani, alleging that the construction activities for the project were resulting in noise pollution in the vicinity.
The bench had, last month, directed the parties concerned to hold meetings and arrive at an amicable solution, considering the fact that the metro project was important.
It had also appointed lawyer Zal Andhyarujina as amicus curiae (friend of the court) to assist it on the matter.
The bench was on Monday informed by Andhyarujina that several meetings were held between the parties concerned and while most of the issues had been resolved, the only issue that remained unresolved was the work that was needed to be carried out at night.
