As the dispute between Maharashtra government and the Reliance-led Mumbai Metro One Private Ltd (MMOPL) over the metro fare hike continues, minister of state for home Ranjit Patil today said the Centre had agreed to seek Union Law Ministry's opinion on the demands of the state government.

Patil and MMRDA commissioner U P S Madan had met the Union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu and requested that the Mumbai Metro be taken out of the purview of amendments in the Metro Railway Act.
