On Wednesday, Actor Kangana Ranaut, filed a caveat in the Supreme Court, requesting that no order be passed without hearing her in case Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation challenges relief given to her by Bombay High Court order in property demolition matter.
On November 27, the Bombay High Court pulled the BMC for carrying out the demolition of her property on ‘wrongful grounds’.
On 27 November, the Bombay High Court granted relief to the actor in her petition challenging the demolition activity by the BMC on her residence-cum-office, Manikarnika Films, on 9 September.
The judgement set aside the demolition notice and declared that the BMC had carried out the demolition activity on wrongful grounds in this case and against rights of the citizens, which is nothing but malice in law.
As per a report by Bar and Bench, the court stated that after going through the photos of the property and a comparison, it had concluded that the alleged altered constructions were existing work.
It said that Ranaut could take steps to make her property habitable, and directed the appointment of a valuer to determine the compensation payable to Ranaut for the demolition of her property.
On 8 September, the BMC served Kangana a stop work notice, listing out all the unauthorised alterations in her property, and gave the actor 24 hours to reply.
On 9 September, the civic body started the process of demolition when the Bombay High Court put a stay on it following a petition by Ranaut.
