After the above order was passed by this Court, the applicant moved the Bombay Municipal Corporation (for short, ‘BMC’) seeking in principle approval of the Master Layout of the Mumbai Coastal Road Garden and Promenade. The BMC considered the proposal in the meeting of the Landscaping Committee held on 19.05.2026 and held the discussion which is mentioned in Annexure A-6 of the Miscellaneous Application, which is reproduced herein below for ready reference: Sr. No. Agenda Discussion Committee's Directions Review & Assessment in principle approval/requested by RIL and decision should be taken w.r.t. our Supreme Court order dated 30.09. 2022 and recent order dated 12. 01.2026 in Writ Petition. In the previous meeting, Chairman directed Coastal Road Department to obtain remarks from BMC Legal Department. No. Agenda Discussion Committee's Directions Review & Assessment in principle approval/requested by RIL and decision should be taken w.r.t. our Supreme Court order dated 30.09. 2022 and recent order dated 12. 01.2026 in Writ Petition. In the previous meeting, Chairman directed Coastal Road Department to obtain remarks from BMC Legal Department. The Legal department has furnished the legal opinion of M/S JS Wad & Co as “in the light of the same, the activities sought to be undertaken maybe revised or leave maybe sought from the Hon'ble Court to go ahead with the specific activities mentioned in the aforementioned letter dt. 18.02. 2026". It was discussed that for planning purpose RIL can go ahead with the concept plan submitted in last meeting with activities mentioned in letter dated 18.02.2026 to save time, but RIL should obtained Supreme Court approval for commercial/ticketed activities before start of work as the the work may start after monsoon. It was also discussed that M/s RIL can use max 15% area as recreational amenities/access control. Detailed discussion was held regarding this matter. It was decided to put up proposal to higher authority to give in principle approval for the activities mentioned in the RIL letter dated 18.05. 2026. 4. Although, the Landscaping Committee has directed that the proposal be put up before the Higher Authority to give in-principle approval of the activities mentioned in RIL letter dated 18.05.2026, however, in the absence of the so called approval by the Supreme Court, the matter has not proceeded further. 5. In view of the above and since there is a tentative approval of the Layout Plan by the BMC, as is reflected in the discussion reproduced above, we direct that the Master Layout Plan at Annexure A-2, shall be considered by the BMC without violating this Court’s earlier order dated 12.01.2026. 6. Needless to reiterate, that the applicant shall not undertake any such activities which would violate this Court’s order dated 12.01.2026. 7. At this stage, learned counsel appearing for the applicant submits that the applicant will not use more than 15 per cent area as recreational activities/ticketed access control. 8. Miscellaneous Application along with the application (IA No. 177555/2026) seeking clarification stand disposed of accordingly.
