As protests continue in Mumbai over felling of over 2,500 trees in Aarey Colony for the proposed car shed for Mumbai Metro 3, a special bench of the Supreme Court is hearing the case on Monday. 

While hearing the plea on the feeling of trees, the Supreme Court has asked the Maharashtra government not to cut any more trees.

The SC says, "It appears to us that it was some kind of forest at some time", and asks the Maharashtra government to not cut any more trees. The state government assured that it won't cut any more trees either. The SC is likely to order status quo in the matter. 

"If legally it can't be done, it can't be done by you," the SC tells Maharashtra government.
