BMC urges Bombay HC to dismiss Kangana's plea with costs

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation on Friday asked the Bombay High Court to dismiss actor Kangana Ranaut’s petition seeking Rs 2 crore in damages for demolition of her bungalow in Mumbai. The BMC called Ranaut’s plea an “abuse of the process of law”.

"The writ petition and the reliefs sought for therein constitute an abuse of process. The Petition should not be entertained and should be dismissed with costs," it said.

On September 9, The Shiv Sena-controlled Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) around 11 am started the demolition process of the "illegal alterations" at the Bandra office of Ranaut.

Kangana Ranaut had moved to Bombay High Court against demolition of her Bandra office in Mumbai on the same day.

On September 15, actress amended her petition before the court and demaned Rs 2 crore  damages should be paid by BMC following the unlawful demolition of a part of her office. 

The next hearing is slated for September 22.
