The Bombay High Court on Monday directed the Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL) to file an affidavit listing steps it had taken to clear the obstacles and buildings violating norms that fell along the path of flight takeoffs and landings.

A bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and V G Bisht passed the directions while hearing a 2019 PIL filed by advocate Yeshwanth Shenoy, highlighting the threat posed to aircraft by high rises and illegal constructions near the Mumbai airport.
