Mumbai/IBNS: The Bombay High Court on Thursday said it will hear actor Kangana Ranaut’s petition against the demolition of her Pali Hill office by Brihannamumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on September 22.
The court's stay on the demolition of Kangana’s production company Manikarnika Films Pvt Ltd’s office yesterday, was seen as a big win for the actress who is in the midst of a major face-off with the Shiv Sena led Maharashtra government.
The 33-year-old actor said the demolition bid by the BMC was just a vendetta.
The Bombay High Court on Thursday said it will hear actor Kangana Ranaut’s petition against the demolition of her Pali Hill office by the Brihannamumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on September 22.
The court stopped the demolition of Kangana’s production company Manikarnika Films Pvt Ltd’s office yesterday, seen as a big win for the actress who is in the midst of a major face off with the Shiv Sena led Maharashtra government.
The 33-year-old actor said the demolition bid by the BMC was just a vendetta.
The high court while staying BMC’s demolition order said it "prima facie does not appear to be bonafide and smacks of malafide".
The demolition timed with the return of the actress to Mumbai after a long stay in Manali in Himachal Pradesh seems to have backfired on Shiv Sena as the Bombay High Court put a stay on the demolition by BMC or the Brihannamumbai Municipal Corporation.
The court reprimanded the BMC for producing an extremely unclear sketch/drawing in its stop-work notice, adding that the unauthorized works could not be seen at all.
The court observed that BMC’s act was deplorable as it swiftly moved to bring down the alleged illegal parts of the actor’s office even as it was aware that a petition to stay the demolition would be brought before the court any time.
Rebuking the BMC, the Bombay High Court said had the civic body acted quickly on the innumerable illegal constructions across Mumbai, the city would have been a different place to live in.
