The Bombay High Court on Tuesday quashed the CRZ clearances granted to the Mumbai's civic body's Rs 14,000-crore coastal road project. The project proposed to connect Marine Drive area in south Mumbai to Borivli in north Mumbai.

A division bench of Chief Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice N M Jamdar rejected the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearances while allowing a bunch of petitions filed by activists, residents, and fishermen from the city challenging the project.
