BMC calls Kangana Ranaut's '2 crore compensation' plea as 'abuse of law'

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Friday filed a reply in the Bombay High Court (HC) on actor Kangana Ranaut's plea seeking Rs 2 crore as damages for demolition at her bungalow. The civic body, responding to Kangana Ranaut's plea, said that the demand of Rs 2 crore was an abuse of the process of law.

On September 9, the BMC demolished a part of Kangana Ranaut's Pali Hill bungalow here, claiming that she had made substantial structural alterations without due permission. After she moved the HC on the same day, a bench led by Justice SJ Kathawalla stayed the demolition. On September 15, Kangana Ranaut amended her plea, seeking a compensation of Rs 2 crore from the BMC.
