The Bombay
High Court Monday asked a petitioner to pay a fine of Rs 50,000 after he
approached it over not being provided sufficient information regarding the
environmental impact of the proposed construction of a Metro car shed in Aarey
area.
The HC came
down heavily on the petitioner, Zora Darayus Bhathena, a resident of Khar, who
has also filed another PIL for preventing indiscriminate cutting of trees. The
HC held that the petitioner did not have any locus in the matter.
Further, if
he was aggrieved about not getting information under the RTI Act, he should
have approached the appellate authority instead of filing a writ petition in
court. The matter was disposed of by the court.
