Kangana Ranaut seeks Rs 2 crores in compensation from BMC for partially demolishing her office

Kangana Ranaut’s Pali Hill office was partially demolished by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on September 9. While BMC cited it as illegal construction, the actress claimed that she has all the required permissions and that she was given notice just a day prior to the demolition.

The actress in her amended petition to Bombay High Court has now sought Rs 2 crores in damages caused by BMC’s ‘illegal demolition’.

Kangana’s war of words with Shiv Sena escalated quickly after her ‘PoK’ remark on Mumbai. The actress Mumbai office was partially demolished by BMC when she was on her way to Mumbai from Manali.

According to a report in Times of India, Kangana in her amended petition to Bombay High Court has sought compensation of Rs 2 crore for nearly ‘40% damage’ to her office in Pali Hill. The actress also called the demolition as ‘premeditated and vitiated’ as it was carried out within 24 hours of receiving notice from BMC.

Apart from the office, the actress even said that her valuable movable property like ‘chandeliers, sofa, rare artworks’ were also damaged. In her Kangana’s lawyer claimed that “BMC always had mala fide intentions and ulterior motives to demolish the Bungalow and were ready even before the Impugned Order to demolish was passed.’’

The actress’ lawyer, Rizwan Siddiquee, visited the premise of her office on September 9 to give the BMC officer present there a copy of her petition and to inform them that it was to be heard. However, the officer locked the gate from inside and went ahead with the demolition.

The Bombay High court had stayed the further demolition of Kangana’s office. The court has also asked BMC to file an affidavit in response to Kangana’s pleas. Now the final hearing will take place on September 22.
