Bombay High Court Stays BMC Eviction of YMCA Gymnasium at Willingdon Ground
The Bombay High Court has stayed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) attempt to take possession of the YMCA gymnasium and traditional wrestling arena at Willingdon Ground, Mumbai Central. The YMCA challenged eviction notices, arguing the premises were legally maintained with sanctioned plans and that no proper hearing was conducted before the takeover notice. The BMC alleged poor maintenance, but the court granted interim relief, restraining the civic body from coercive action until further orders.
