The Bombay HC on Monday said unauthorized constructions causing obstruction to aircraft at the city airport and not protected by any court order must be demolished. A bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Makarand Karnik said this while hearing a 2019 PIL on the danger to aircraft from highrises near the airport. Mumbai International Airport Ltd had in its July 8 reply given details of obstacle surveys carried out by it over the years. It said it had reported obstacles to DGCA, which, after hearing the owners, passed reasoned demolition orders and forwarded it to the collector for necessary action.
