After a major setback from the high court regarding the Mahul case, the BMC has decided to approach the Supreme Court with updated reports on the living condition and pollution levels in Mahul. The state, too, will file a plea in the SC. Earlier, the BMC had approached the apex court and claimed that the Bombay High Court had wrongly interpreted the apex court's order in this regard.

The HC has ordered to give Rs 15,000 as rent and Rs 45,000 as a one-time deposit to Mahul residents if the BMC is unable to provide them alternative accommodation. The SC is expected to hear the case on October 4.
