In a reprieve to standup comedian Kapil Sharma, the Bombay High Court on Monday granted interim stay on a notice issued by BMC in April this year directing razing of an illegal structure allegedly constructed by him at his flat in an 18-storey building in Goregaon.
Sharma had approached the HC challenging the April 28 notice issued by the civic body under section 351 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, claiming that it was "bad in law", "perverse" and issued with "malafide intentions".
The corporation in its notice claimed that certain constructions in the 18-storey residential building 'DlH Enclave' in Goregaon, in which the actor has a flat, were illegal and hence will have to be razed down.
