The Bombay High Court on Thursday stayed the cutting of trees for the Metro III (Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ) project. Until further orders, no trees should be made away with, the court said.

A petition was filed in the Bombay High Court by Pervin Jehangir, a resident of Cuffe Parade, claiming that the authorities have made away with 100 trees in the past five to six days.
