Bombay High Court Allows Repairs to 129-Year-Old Jimmy Boy Building After IIT Audit
The Bombay High Court has permitted repairs and structural strengthening of the 129-year-old Vikas Premises Co-operative Society building in Mumbai, which houses the Jimmy Boy restaurant, following an independent IIT Bombay audit. The audit found no part of the building required demolition, classifying sections as C-2A and C-2B, suitable for repair. While the BMC opposed, citing the building's age and limited extension of life through repairs, the court allowed occupancy after repairs under supervision, dismissing demolition orders.
