The Bombay High Court on Monday asked the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA), Reliance Metro, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and the Fire Department to file affidavits in reply to a petition opposing the phase one of the Metro railway which will connect suburban Versova with Ghatkopar.

The bench, headed by Chief Justice Mohit Shah, gave the direction in response to a public interest litigation filed by Monica Matani, a city resident.
