(Deepshikha Gautam, Intern Journalist) Mumbai: Actor Sonu Sood has not got relief from the Bombay High Court in the alleged illegal manufacturing case. The Bombay High Court has dismissed the appeal and interim petition of actor Sonu Sood challenging the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) notice for alleged illegal construction in their residential building in Juhu. Justice Prithviraj Chavan said that the court is dismissing the appeal and the petition. Now this means that only BMC will take action on Sonu Sood.
Sonu Sood’s lawyer Amogh Singh sought 10 weeks’ time to comply with the notice issued by the BMC and requested the court to direct the civic body not to take steps to demolish the building. The court refused to accept the request, stating that the actor had enough time to do so earlier. The BMC issued a notice to Sonu Sood in October last year. Sood challenged that notice in a civil court in December 2020, but his plea was rejected by the court. He then moved to the Bombay High Court. The BMC had alleged in its notice that Sood had made structural changes in the six-storey ‘Shakti Sagar’ residential building and converted it into a commercial hotel.
During the hearing in the Bombay High Court on January 12, BMC called Sonu Sood as ‘habitual criminal’. The municipality had said in the court that the actors have been continuously breaking the rules in the case of illegal construction. In fact, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), in an affidavit filed in the Bombay High Court, said that Bollywood actor Sonu Sood is a “habitual criminal” who, despite the first two demolition actions, carried out unauthorized construction work in a residential building in suburban Juhu.
