Standup comedian Kapil Sharma has approached the Bombay High Court challenging a notice issued by BMC directing razing of an illegal structure allegedly constructed by him at his flat in suburban Goregaon. Sharma, in his petition, claimed that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) notice was "bad in law" and issued with "malafide intentions". On November 6, 2013, the corporation issued Full Occupation Certificate to the building," Sharma said in his petition. Sharma, in his reply to the BMC, said no unauthorised construction was carried out at his flat in the building. "Despite the sessions court order, the corporation issued another notice on April 28 this year directing razing of the building," Sharma said in his petition.
