As per Shenoy, these buildings pose a risk to aircraft taking off and landing at the airport here and may someday lead to any untoward incident. Chief Justice Datta stated the problem concerns everyone. He also referred to the recently released Ajay Devgn-star Hindi film “Runway 34.”
“I happened to see a movie ‘Runway 34,’ Nothing depends on the pilot. Everything depends on the air traffic control,” Chief Justice Datta said. “We think the pilot has declared that we are set for landing or take off and the temperature outside is so and so and everything is fine.
Maharashtra government and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation
But it all depends on several other factors. One mistake here and there…Anything can happen,” he told.
The bench directed the Maharashtra government and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to file their affidavits on what action it has taken on the issue. The High Court of Bombay told it would hear the matter further on Friday.
