1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION NO. 130 OF 2006 Chandrahas G. Tawde & Ors. ... Petitioners Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ... Respondents. Mr. Rajesh S. Datar for the Petitioners Mrs. J.S. Pawar, Additional Government Pleader, for Respondents No.1 to 3 Mr. R.S. Apte for Respondent No.4. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and S.A. BOBDE, JJ. DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 2008 P.C.:- The main grievance of the petitioners in this P.I.L. was that heavy vehicles are moving into Thane for going outside Thane, and their movement should be banned. They prayed that only heavy vehicles, which were supposed to load or unload in Thane, should be allowed to enter Thane. 2. Various orders were passed by this Court. Various Committees were appointed. The Acting Deputy Commissioner of Police had filed an affidavit earlier, in which it was stated that those heavy vehicles, which have been banned to pass through Mumbai on 2 way to Navi Mumbai, used to pass through Ghodbunder Road – Golden Dyes – Kharegaon Toll Naka – Parsik Naka on way to Navi Mumbai. At present, the road was closed, as construction of fly over bridge at Mumbra Station was in progress. It was also contended that Mumbai Bypass Road work was likely to be completed soon, and then heavy vehicles going to Navi Mumbai could use this bypass. Today, we have been told that the bypass road is ready, and has been opened for traffic. Therefore, we direct that this bypass should be used for the purpose of vehicles going through Thane, and such vehicles should not be allowed to pass Thane. With this direction, the P.I.L. Is disposed of. BILAL NAZKI, J. S.A. BOBDE, J.
