Kangana Ranaut Office Demolition: BMC Commissioner Summoned By MHRC In Relation To The Case In January 2021

Kangana Ranaut’s office demolition case is now seeing some major developments months after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) bulldozed the property. In a hearing on the case in November, the Bombay High Court upheld Kangana challenging the demolition of her Palli Hill property in Mumbai, and the notice issued by the BMC for illegal contraction to the actress was quashed.

Now, the Maharashtra Human Rights Commission (MHRC) is the latest body to jump into action on the case. Reportedly a petition against the demolition was filed by a lawyer in the MHRC and now taking a cue from the High Court, the body has summoned BMC’s commissioner Iqbal Chahal. According to reports Chahal has been asked to appear before the MHRC in person on 21 January 2021.

Kangana Ranaut’s office in Palli Hill was partly demolished by the BMC on September 9 while the actress was on her way to Mumbai. A petition filed by the actress in the Bombay High Court put a stay to further demolition and the legal proceeding in the matter have continued since. The court has now cleared Kangana to restore her office property.

The action by the BMC had come after she was served a notice of illegal construction which was not sanctioned by the BMC during the lockdown.
