The
Brihanmumbai
Municipal
Corporation
(BMC)
has
urged
the
Bombay
High
Court
to
reject
Kangana
Ranaut's
plea
seeking
compensation
of
Rs
2
crore
for
the
partial
demolition
of
her
Pali
Hill
property
in
Mumbai.
The
civic
body
called
Kangana's
claims
as
'bogus'
and
'baseless,
stated
a
report
in
Indian
Express.
The
BMC,
in
its
additional
affidavit
in
response
to
Kangana's
plea,
reiterated
that
the
actress
had
undisputedly
carried
out
"substantial
unlawful
additions
and
alterations",
contrary
to
the
sanctioned
plan
without
obtaining
proper
permission
for
the
same.
According
to
a
report
in
Indian
Express,
an
affadivit
filed
by
Bhagyavant
Late,
the
designated
officer
of
H
West
ward
of
the
BMC,
through
advocate
Joel
Carlos
stated,
"The
petitioner,
who
has
undisputedly
carried
out
substantial
unlawful
additions
and
alterations
contrary
to
the
approved
plan
and
without
applying
for
and
obtaining
any
permission
for
the
same,
cannot
be
heard
to
contend
that
remedial
action
taken
in
respect
of
such
unlawful
acts,
was
either
illegal
or
high
handed
or
approach
writ
jurisdiction
of
the
HC
for
relief
and
make
'baseless'
and
'bogus'
claims
for
compensation."
Kangana,
in
her
amended
plea
before
the
High
Court,
had
stated
that
the
BMC
had
demolished
40
per
cent
of
her
Pali
Hill
property,
which
was
also
used
as
an
office,
including
valuable
properties,
such
as
chandeliers,
vintage
chairs
and
others,
and
sought
interim
relief
pending
hearing
to
take
steps
to
make
her
property
"capable
of
use" after
the
demolition.
Talking
about
seeking
Rs
2
crore
compensation
from
BMC
for
damaging
her
property,
Kangana
Ranaut
told
Times
Now
in
an
interview,
"They
(BMC)
will
have
to
pay
for
my
destroyed
property.
I
felt
'raped',
violated,
humiliated.
I
couldn't
sleep
for
four
nights
while
was
there
in
Mumbai;
Karma
will
settle
the
scores."
The
actress
received
a
lot
of
flak
from
netizens
for
using
a
rape
analogy
to
explain
what
she
went
through
after
the
demolition
of
her
Mumbai
office.
Reacting
to
the
criticism,
Kangana
tweeted,
"The
place
which
used
to
be
a
temple
has
been
turned
into
a
cemetery.
See,
how
my
dreams
were
ruined.
Isn't
this
rape?"
"This
is
rape...of
my
dreams,
my
vigour,
my
self-respect
and
of
my
future," she
wrote
in
another
tweet.
