MUMBAI
The HC on Thursday had directed the BMC chief to ascertain weather cracks developed in the building are effect of the causes mentioned by the residents, and to file an affidavit.
Brihanmumbai Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta visited the Bhatia Building on Friday morning following the Bombay High Court's order to take actions to ensure that no further damaged is caused to the building on Princess Street. This has, however, only fumed the residents even more as they were not informed about his visit, which was to verify the residents' claims, who say the 130-year-old Bhatia Building has developed cracks due to construction work on a plot behind the building.
The HC on Thursday had directed the BMC chief to ascertain weather cracks developed in the building are effect of the causes mentioned by the residents, and to file an affidavit. Mehta said he had visited the plot and a report will be submitted to the court.
A Bhatia Building resident, Sharad Negandhi said, "It was our complain after which the court directed the BMC chief to take measures to prevent further damage. The commissioner inspected our building and the plot behind and we were not even aware of it. The BMC had already failed to comply with court order to stop redevelopment work on March 16. The work stopped only two days ago. In this one week, the developer carried work rapidly which caused more cracks."
"The court has asked Mehta to submit affidavit in court on 4 June. We will then raise the issue of harassment against the landlord. Shailesh Agarwal, the landlord has sent me a notice to vacate this place," Negandhi added.
The HC has asked Mehta to be present before the court on Thursday as the corporation had failed to comply to court order to stop the redevelopment work on the plot behind the building. Over 16 tenants of the building, also known as Sitaram Sadan, had approached the court claiming that the building has developed more cracks.
