[LIVE-UPDATES] Hearing On Kangana Ranaut's Plea Against Demolition of Her Office Building

Chinoy : Malice in law will be when you try to achieve an unlawful purpose, extraneous purpose. Where is the unlwaful purpose is acting against unauthorized construction?

Chinoy : The inspection was three hours before the tweet of Kangana Ranaut. Where is the link? Mala-fides cannot be loosely alleged.

Chinoy : To allege mala-fides, she says she tweeted about police and the action was in response to that.

But the problem is that her tweet is at 5 PM and the inspection was at 1 PM.

Chinoy : And you (Kangana Ranaut) create a huge hullaballoo about being de-housed. But why don't you tell your case and state when the construction was done and if it was done with permission.

Chinoy : If in a case on inspection it is found that unauthorized alterations have taken place and finishing work is going on, Section 354A can be invoked.

Chinoy : As to when the work started, there is an amazing withholding of information on her part.

Even today you don't tell us.

Chinoy : Suppose they had come and said they have stopped the work, we would have had to hear them. But what did they say? That no work was done.

This is the important distinction.

Chinoy : We have nothing on record to show that she has done it earlier..that she has applied for permission and done it with permission.

Chinoy : The BMC has demolished parts of the unauthorized construction and the rest has been stopped by the injunction order of this Court.

Chinoy : We have seen five workmen and one supervisor in the site. We have seen gunny bags and plywoods in the site. There was detailed work going on.
