The Court was hearing a plea concerning the allotment of land to construct a new court complex.
In January 2019, the High Court had directed the State government to take a decision on offering a large and convenient plot of land for the construction of a new High Court complex.
In May 2023, the Maharashtra government asked the High Court administration to take advance possession of certain land in Bandra East for this purpose.
The Court however was informed on March 11 this year that the land was not vacant yet and contained staff quarters for government officials, some of whom even worked in the High Court.
