Mumbai: The Bombay High Court today expressed displeasure over the Maharashtra government’s failure to take a stand on whether the changes made to a structure in south Mumbai allotted to BJP in 1978 were legal or not.
A division bench of justices A S Oka and Revati Mohite Dere was hearing petitions filed by three residents’ associations seeking action against illegal structures constructed by political parties, including BJP, inside and near the Nehru Garden and other illegal shanties that have sprung up there. The court had on the last hearing, directed the state to examine if any changes were carried out by BJP, and if so, then whether the requisite permissions were taken.
