Bombay high court
MUMBAI: The Bombay high court has criticised the BMC for its approach towards illegal structures in the city.
“We get the impression that you are trying to help people putting up unauthorised constructions. You don’t take our orders seriously and go out and say this court is very harsh to officers of (BMC). When our orders are not followed, what do we expect to do?” said a bench of Justices Shahrukh Kathawalla and Riyaz Chagla on Friday.
A petition was filed by the A H Wadia Trust regarding an illegal structure on its property in Kurla. In August 2020 the HC had directed that the site be inspected and appropriate action taken. The trust moved for contempt against the BMC alleging that no action was taken pursuant to the order.
