The Parsi community got a leg up in their battle to push the Metro III alignment away from their holiest of temples - the Wadia and Anjuman Atash Behrams - as the Bombay High Court asked the Metro authorities to hire independent experts to study the case.
The bench, comprising Justices AS Oka and Riyaz Iqbal Chagla, advised the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) to consult third-party agencies to check whether the tunnelling work for the Metro III line would cause any structural damage to the two heritage temples or to any other structures within their precincts.
