The BMC has raised objections over allege constructions at Manish’s bungalow, also located at Pali Hill in Mumbai’s Bandra, the place which was at the centre of the action on Wednesday.

The BMC officials had also carried out an inspection of Kangana’s office, Manikarnika Films Pvt Ltd, and had pasted a ‘stop work notice’ on Tuesday. She was asked to produce the permission for the construction within 24 hours.

However, they demolished a portion of the property even as the actor was on her way to Mumbai from Manali. The Bombay High Court stayed further demolition when the process was still underway and came down heavily on the BMC.

 "It is clear beyond any doubt that the works which are ‘unauthorised’ have not come up overnight. However, all of a sudden, the Corporation appears to have overnight woken up from its slumber, issued Notice to the Petitioner, that too when she is out of the State, directing her to respond within 24 hours, and not granting her any further time, despite the written request, and proceeding to demolish the said Premises upon completion of 24 hours," noted the HC.

It added, "Though the manner in which the MCGM has proceeded to commence demolition work of the said Premises, prima facie does not appear to be bonafide and smacks of malafide, we are giving an opportunity to the MCGM to explain its stand/conduct on Affidavit by 3.00 p.m. tomorrow".
