HC issues show cause notice to district collector, municipal commissioners, police heads, over non-compliance with 2017 sky signs order

The Bombay High Court has issued show cause notices to various government authorities and political parties for non-compliance with its December 31, 2017, judgment regarding illegal sky signs, citing deliberate defiance and contempt of court. A division bench comprising chief justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and justice Amit Borkar on December 19, a copy of which was uploaded on Monday, December 30, issued the notices while hearing a contempt plea over the failure to enforce the court’s directives on the removal of illegal hoardings, banners, flags, flexes, and posters across Maharashtra. The notices have been served to political parties, municipal corporation heads, municipal council executives, district collectors, police department heads, and the Director General of Police. The court directed municipal corporations, municipal councils, and the state’s Urban Development Department to submit affidavits by the next hearing on January 25.
