On Wednesday, the Bombay High Court upheld a demolition notice issued by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for an illegal industrial shed located in Bail Bazar, Kurla, Mumbai. The court, led by Justice AS Gadkari and Justice Kamal Khata, stated that unauthorized structures cannot be tolerated or protected, reinforcing the principle that 'illegality is incurable.' The shed, covering approximately 1,773 square meters, was claimed by Siesta Industrial & Trading Corporation and other units to have existed before the April 1, 1962 datum line for non-residential structures. However, the BMC argued that Tikka Sheets indicated no construction existed prior to this date. The court found that the petitioners failed to provide clear evidence supporting their claims, leading to the rejection of their petition. The judges noted that while the BMC had previously granted repair permissions, this did not establish the legality of the structure.
