Mumbai: The stay on the fare hikes of Mumbai Metro will continue for another month with the Bombay High Court today rejecting a plea for early date and scheduled a bunch of petitions on the issue for hearing on March 18.

A division bench of Justices A S Oka and C V Bhadang was hearing the petitions, including one by MMRDA, challenging the report of the Fare Fixation Committee as well as the proposal by R-Infra run Mumbai Metro One Private Limited (MMOPL) to hike fares.
