Mumbai: While the Bombay high court is hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), challenging the redevelopment of Wankhede stadium, the petitioners on Tuesday brought to notice 40 more violations in the redevelopment.Social activist Amit Maru has now also sought action against the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI), the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Garware Club House for allegedly violating the development plan.Wankhede is presently undergoing a total makeover for World Cup-2011.A division bench of justice FI Rebello and justice Mridula Bhatkar will hear the PIL on April 22.
Maru had moved the high court in 2009, seeking restraint on the redevelopment of the stadium, alleging that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had granted redevelopment permission without proper clearances from the Coastal Regulatory Zone (CRZ) and the environment ministry.
His fresh application seeks the demolition of construction of the Garware Club House, BCCI and IPL headquarters and they be converted into a public recreation ground as shown in the development plan.
