The Bombay High Court has criticised the BMC for failing to comply with its 2015 order to demolish illegal slums outside Everard Co-operative Housing Society near the Eastern Express Highway.
In this matter, a bench of Justices Ajey Gadkari and Kamal Khata held former assistant commissioner of L-Ward, Ajit Kumar Ambi, guilty of contempt and directed him to respond on the quantum of sentence by January 27. The court also imposed a cost of Rs5 lakh on slum dwellers, who encroached on the footpath outside the society, for "suppression and misrepresentation of material facts", and sought a stay on the demolition.
During the hearing, the court expressed grave concern over the proliferation of illegal structures in Mumbai, and illegal occupants holding law-abiding citizens to ransom.
