HC seeks civic body reply on Kapil’s plea
Mumbai, November 24
The Bombay High Court today directed the Mumbai civic body to file its affidavit in reply to petitions filed by stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma and actor Irrfan Khan challenging the notice issued against them directing razing of unauthorised structures allegedly constructed by them at their flats in suburban Goregaon.
A Division Bench headed by Justice NH Patil directed all parties involved to maintain status quo in the matter, which means the civic body cannot initiate action of demolition of the alleged illegal structure.
On April 28, the civic body issued notice to Sharma and Khan under Section 351 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, claiming that certain constructions in the 18-storey residential building “DLH Enclave” in Goregaon, in which the actors have flats, were illegal and hence will have to be razed.
Another resident and the developer of the building Dev Land and Housing Private Ltd have also petitioned the high court. — PTI
