Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut on Monday told the Bombay High Court that Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) claim of illegal altercations at her Pali Hill bungalow were not true, reported PTI.

In an affidavit filed in response to the BMC’s reply to her plea, the ‘Queen’ actor stated that she had made no unlawful structural changes to the bungalow, part of which was demolished by the corporation on September 9. 

“I deny that I have carried out unlawful additions and alterations as alleged or at all,” the affidavit said.

She also said that her plea seeking Rs 2 crore compensation from the BMC for damaging her property was not an abuse of the process of law.

The civic body had said the actress had made major structural changes to the building without the civic body’s permission.

It had said BMC officials were merely following the rule of law in razing these alterations on September 9.

The civic body had urged the high court to dismiss Ranaut’s plea and impose a cost upon her for filing the petition, which it said was an “abuse” of the process of law.

“While the Respondent No. 1 (BMC) and its officials, malafidely issued me the ImpugnedNotice to seek personal vendetta, they, on the contrary on the same day, issued a Noticeto an adjacent bungalow occupied by the famous fashion designer, ManishMalhotra giving him 7 days’ time to provide explanation,” Ranaut stated.

“This conduct of the Respondent No.1 and its officials clearly demonstrates bias and further displays that the Impugned Notice issued to me is vitiated by malice and was issued as a counterblast to the statements made by me,” she said.

The actress had previously alleged the BMC had carried out the demolition because she had made some comments that were adverse to the Shiv Sena-led government in Maharashtra.

On September 9, the bench led by Justice Kathawalla had stayed the razing and remarked that the civic body’s action seemed malafide.

The HC is likely to conduct a final hearing on Ranaut’s plea on Tuesday.
