Supreme Court Upholds Land Transfer for Mumbai Metro Line 6 Depot at Kanjurmarg
The Supreme Court dismissed a developer's challenge to the Bombay High Court's order allowing 15 hectares of salt pan land at Kanjurmarg to be transferred to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) for the Mumbai Metro Line 6 car depot. The land lease, originally for 99 years from 1917 for salt manufacturing, ended in 2016. The court upheld the lease termination and allowed the petitioner to seek legal remedies. MMRDA plans an interim facility for Metro 6 operations until the full depot is built.
