In a setback for union minister Narayan Rane, the Supreme Court has dismissed the BJP leader’s plea to stay a Bombay High Court order to demolish unauthorised portions of an eight-floor family bungalow in Mumbai.
The Bombay High Court had directed the BMC to demolish parts of the Rane’s bungalow in Juhu as it violated floor space index and coastal building rule regulations.
The high court had said this would allow other large-scale unauthorised constructions - against guidelines laid down by itself and the Supreme Court - and imposed a cost of ₹10 lakh.
This was after the BMC indicated it was willing to consider a second application by Rane after rejecting the first.
