Kangana withdraws plea filed in Bombay HC against BMC

Actor Kangana Ranaut told the Bombay High Court on Wednesday that she would withdraw her appeal filed against a civil court order that had dismissed her petition against the 2018 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation ( BMC) notice for illegally merging three flats in a suburban building.

Ranaut told the court that she would file a regularisation application before the BMC in connection with alleged irregularities at her residential flats in suburban Khar.

Justice Prithviraj Chavan permitted Ranaut to withdraw the appeal and said no coercive action shall be taken by the civic body until the application for regularisation is heard and decided, and for two weeks thereafter.

"The appellant (Ranaut) is permitted to apply for regularisation before the MCGM within a period of four weeks," Justice Chavan said.

The corporation shall decide the same expeditiously and in accordance with law, the court said.

"In case of any adverse order against the appellant, no coercive action shall be taken thereafter by the BMC to enable the appellant to file appeal," the court said.
