Bombay HC raps BMC over false claims of demolition

Observing that the 'the matter is now between the municipal officials and the court', the bench directed the deputy municipal commissioner to be present at the next hearing. The BMC submitted the report of an inspection drive, undertaken by the executive engineer of the building and factory department of B ward, to the court. The report stated action will be initiated as per a 2012 notice and 'flattening of the ladi coba slab has to be undertaken'. The report further stated action would be initiated against the temporary monsoon shed 'by following due process of law'. However, the court noted that 'they [BMC] made false and misleading statements on previous occasions and this site inspection report means nothing to us.' Warning that the officials concerned will not be spared, the bench then said, 'They [BMC officials] think that they can walk away with any statement being made before this court and even after [it] is proved to be false or untrue.'
