'There can be no devp other than coastal road'

Hearing a petition against the proposed coastal road, a Supreme Court bench of Chief Justice S A Bobde and Justices A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian told BMC's counsel, senior advocate Darius Khambatta, "Your client (BMC) likes to jump the gun. We did not stay the HC order directing environment impact assessment. We prevented you from doing any reclamation except the land required for construction of the road. There can be no development other than the road. If you are reclaiming more land than required for the road, then you are overreaching our orders. You cannot do it without taking permission from us."
