The Bombay High Court has issued a temporary injunction against civic authorities in Mumbai from converting an internal road of the Ekta Meadows A, B, C, D, E, F & G Cooperative Housing Society in Borivali East into a public road. The court's decision follows a petition from the society challenging the government's move, which was made without initiating proper acquisition proceedings. The court emphasized the importance of maintaining access for emergency vehicles and instructed residents to refrain from unauthorized parking that could obstruct such vehicles. The society contends that the internal road, which is 12 metres wide, is part of a sanctioned layout and was designated for private access, having been handed over by the developer in 2009. The court has directed that no coercive actions be taken based on a communication from the Dahisar traffic department until the next hearing on June 15. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between residents and authorities regarding urban development and land use.
