In a setback to the Maharashtra government, the Bombay High Court passed an interim order on Wednesday, staying the transfer of 102-acres of land to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) to build a metro car shed. The HC was hearing a petition filed by the Centre, which has claimed the land belonged to it. The state government, through the Mumbai Suburban District Collector, had ordered transfer of the Kanjurmarg salt pan land on October 1. It was handed over to MMRDA on October 6. Subsequently, MMRDA transferred the land to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Limited (DMRCL) on October 8.
