Union Minister Narayan Rane moved the Bombay High Court on Monday challenging the notices issued against him by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for allegedly carrying out illegal changes in his bungalow in Juhu.
On February 25, March 4 and March 16, the civic body issued notices to Mr. Rane directing him to remove the alterations otherwise it would be compelled to demolish the same and recover all the charges from the owner.
Mr. Rane moved court seeking to quash and set aside all the three notices and called them “perverse, illegal and in violation of his fundamental rights”. The matter was mentioned before a division bench of justices A.A. Sayed and Abhay Ahuja. The bench will hear the matter on March 22.
