Actor Kangana Ranaut tweeted an emotional post after hearing the Bombay High Court's comment to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) on her petition against the demolition of a part of her Mumbai office. Kangana said she had “tears in her eyes” when the court said the decision should not be delayed as the house was falling apart during rains.
Kangana tweeted, “Honourable Justice HC, this brought tears to my eyes, in the lashing rains of Mumbai my house is indeed falling apart, you thought about my broken house with so much compassion and concern means a lot to me, my heart is healed thank you for giving me back all that I had lost.” A bench of Justices S J Kathawalla and R I Chagla directed the BMC H-ward officer Bhagyawant Late to file his reply to the plea. Late had signed the demolition notice served to Kangana on September 7.
BMC's senior counsel Anil Sakhre also sought more time for Late to file his reply. The bench, however, directed the BMC to file the reply on Late's behalf by Monday, saying it could not delay the hearing. The bench said, “We cannot leave the demolished house the way it is. You need more time here but otherwise you are fast. The building is demolished partly, and in the heavy monsoon, we cannot leave it in this state. We will start hearing the petitioner tomorrow.”
In her plea filed in the HC on September 9, Kangana sought that the demolition carried out by the BMC at her Pali Hill bungalow be declared illegal.
