MUMBAI: Lavasa Corporation has moved the Bombay high court challenging the final order of the Union ministry of environment and forests (MoEF). Terming the MoEF's order "mala fide and biased", the corporation has sought its quashing.

On January 17, the MoEF extended its status quo order, preventing further construction on the development of the 2,000-hectare hill city near Pune.
