Actor Sonu Sood Moves Supreme Court Against Bombay High Court's Order Denying Relief Against BMC's Notice On 'Illegal Constructions"

A plea has been filed before the Supreme Court by Actor Sonu Sood challenging the the Bombay High Court's recent order dismissing their appeal against Civil Court's rejection in granting temporary injunction against the Greater Mumbai Municipal Corporation. According to the petitioners, the Court has influenced and prevented the fair and unbiased adjudication of the their Suit, by holding that the Civil Suit was barred on account of bar of jurisdiction of Civil Court under Section 149 of the Maharashtra Regulation and Town Planning Act, 1966 despite the contrary view taken time and again by both the Supreme Court and the Bombay High Court. In the present case the Petitioners despite having acquired part approval for proposal dated 19.06.2018 from the Municipal Commissioner on 07.02.2020 and pending only the NOC from MCZMA, a notice was issued against them notice u/s 53 MRTP Act thereby leading the Petitioner to rightly apprehend that the alleged offending structure of the suit building will be demolished. According to the petitioners, the High Court also lost sight of the fact that the Notice u/s 53 of the MRTP Act dated 24.10.2020 was given impetus by virtue of a motivated complaint which was only filed because the complainant is determined to cause harm to the property of the Petitioners as his illegal demands were not met.
