Bombay High Court Stays BMC Demolition at Rustomjee Crown, Seeks Developer Response
Residents of Rustomjee Crown in Prabhadevi have challenged the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) demolition of foyer areas in their apartments, claiming these spaces were sold and documented as part of their homes by the developer. Around 140 flat owners, represented by 246 plaintiffs, filed a suit alleging misrepresentation and breach of contract. The Bombay High Court has stayed further BMC action and directed the developer to respond by September 17, with the demolition initially affecting eight foyers in 5-BHK apartments.
