Mumbai Court Orders Restoration of Water Supply to Topiwala Theatre, Calls Disconnection Arbitrary
Mumbai's Co-operative Court directed the Topiwala Centre Premises Cooperative Society to restore water supply to Topiwala Theatre, ruling the disconnection arbitrary. The theatre had its water cut off on October 8, 2026, affecting operations, despite paying substantial maintenance and property taxes. The society cited water shortages and unpaid dues but did not disconnect supply to all members. The court emphasized water as an essential amenity and advised pursuing dues through legal channels, denying interim terrace access for satellite dish maintenance.
