MUMBAI: The Maharashtra Law University will in any case arise in Goregaon West. The state authorities has dereserved 323 acres (129.five hectares) of no-development zone (NDZ) land off the Goregaon Link Road for putting in place of the college and a metro/mono rail car depot, allied services and products and industrial actions.
While 100 acres will likely be given for putting in place the school campus, the remainder 223 acres will likely be used for allied services and products for the metro and for industrial exploitation. The Development Plan for the city has marked 45 acres in this land for a metro car depot. The site is round 2-Three km from Lokhandwala Complex, Versova.

Dilip Kawatkar, joint commissioner, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), said, “This land isn't going for use for any specific metro line as a metro car shed. Rather, it is going to be used for allied services and products, including a stabling backyard.”

The land sprawl is owned by means of the Sahara team and has been positioned in the residential zone. In the NDZ, the FSI allowed is only zero.2.

The new zoning also permits for an 18m vast road which will allow FSI for residential use to move up to Three.24.

In case of business construction (offices, shops and so on), the government has below the new DP 2034 allowed FSI of five.

The urban advancement division issued a notification remaining month pointing out it had issued a draft notification in 2011 to de-reserve 323 acres of NDZ for a metro car shed. The Maharashtra Law University, Mumbai, used to be set up below the Maharashtra National Law University Act, 2014. It is the first of 3 national law universities to be set up in the state. The other two are to be set up in Nagpur and Aurangabad.

The authorities has also reserved 101 acres in Kanjurmarg, falling below Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ), for a metro car shed/depot. This is a part of the government-approved DP which states 374 acres, mostly below CRZ, will likely be taken for a metro car shed/depot and casting backyard. These plots have been reserved for metro 2A (Dahisar East to DN Nagar) and 7 (Dahisar East to Andheri East).

Earlier, the state had considered the same Kanjurmarg plot for the metro Three car shed as a substitute of Aarey Colony, however it dropped the plan. Environmentalist D Stalin alleged, “The authorities is enjoying with phrases. They desire a car shed at Aarey as it is going to lend a hand them generate FSI/TDR worth over Rs30,000 crore, which choice isn't available at the Kanjurmarg plot. They need to damage Aarey’s inexperienced house.”

The state in June 2016 had issued a central authority solution shelling out 60 acres in Gorai for the law college. But as there used to be no formal delivering of land, suggest Pradeep Havnur filed a PIL in Bombay high court.


The college, said Havnur, used to be functioning out of a brief transit-type structure at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences campus. It had only two school rooms. In February this yr, the division bench of Justices S C Dharmadhikari and Bharati Dangare summoned the principal secretaries of the urban advancement and income division and directed them to inform court which land will likely be allocated.


The notification states, “The Maharashtra National Law University asked the state authorities to make available nearly 40 hectares of land from the Metro car shed land to the University and the Authority (MMRDA) has no objection on this regard since the final land is enough to facilitate requirement of metro car depot.” MMRDA will want to download clearance below CRZ for wearing out any advancement here.


Currently, there's a keep on granting clearance for any proposal because the Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP) is but to be finalised. The National Green Tribunal (principal bench) has set July 31 because the date for the new CZMP plan to come into power.
