The Bombay High Court on Wednesday stayed the demolition drive of Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut's "illegal office" barely a couple of hours after the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) squad started bulldozing the premises.
Ranaut's lawyer had challenged the BMC notice earlier in the morning before the high court, contending that there are no illegalities in the office works even as the civic demolition squad swooped on the premises in Bandra West.
The high court has directed the BMC to file its reply to Ranaut's plea challenging the demolition order by 3 p.m. on Thursday.
Responding to it, the younger son of the former Chief Minister and senior politician Narayan Rane, Nitish Rane asked if they can go to Shahrukh Khan's Mannat?
Rane in a series of tweet wrote, "Hope the same rule applies to everyone n no one is above the law..Is the BMC team goin to Khan’s Mannat next? Ofcuz NO..how can they dare !!! Sabka time ayega!!"
"It’s not even about Kangana n BMC! It’s abt any1 who is talking or supporting Hindutva are the target..While OTHERS r spared! Unfortunately Balasaheb’s ShivSena is leading the pack..SAD!," added Rane.
Kangana has finally landed in Mumbai and the CRPF team has already reached her residence to provide her protection.
