Bombay High Court asks AAI if it relaxed height norms for buildings around Navi Mumbai airport
Read Time:49 Second
The Bombay High Court Thursday asked the Airports Authority of India (AAI) if it had relaxed height restriction norms for structures around the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport while hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) which raised concerns over structures around airports posing a threat to the take-off and landing of flights.
A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Makarand S Karnik also asked the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) to be made a party in the PIL filed by advocate Yeshwanth Shenoy in 2019.
The PIL said several structures were constructed in violation of the Ministry of Civil Aviation (Height Restrictions for Safeguarding of Aircraft Operations) Rules, 2015. The petitioner referred to a press not by the CIDCO and said the authority amended the norms to grant no-objection to constructions of buildings within a 20-kilometre radius of the airport as it raised the height limit from 55 metres above mean sea level (AMSL) to 160 metres.
