Cant tell BMC not to build mall in place of school: HC
Comet Media Corporation (CMC), an NGO specialising in alternative learning methods for children, had moved the High Court urging it to direct the civic body not to demolish a school building in Topiwala Lane where it has an office, since the building can be repaired
The Bombay High Court on Monday said it cannot force the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to retain the school building at Topiwala Lane in the Lamington Road area
The NGO had stated that the corporation had served eviction notices on them and other NGOs holding offices in the same building as it wanted to demolish it and construct an electronics mall on its premises
Counsel for CMC, Gautam Patel, told the court that 528 NGOs across the city held offices in various BMC school buildings in the city
It is their policy decision,� Justice Ranjana Desai said
