A day after the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (Bmc) partly demolished the office of Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, the civic body on Thursday hit out at her, saying her hands were not "clean", even as the Bombay High Court ordered a 'status quo' and posted the matter for hearing on Sep. 22.

Filing an affidavit during the hearing of Ranaut's plea challenging the demolition of Sep. 9, the Bmc legal team said the actress had not secured due permissions for the alleged unauthorised alterations in the premises and the work was done in complete violation of applicable rules.

The Bmc team which included Senior Counsel Aspiy Chinoy, Senior Counsel Anil Sakhare and advocate Joel Carlos, pointed out that Ranaut had not disputed carrying out the unlawful modifications in her writ petition and she had no basis to dispute the illegal works carried out.

The president of the association Tp Aggarwal said that the development is neither good for the government nor good for Kangana Ranaut. "All these things are neither good for the government nor good for Kangana Ranaut. The action taken by the Maharashtra government or Bmc is absolutely wrong and should be condemned," he said.

The ravaged office - which resembled a war-zone within two hours - triggered a furious Twitter war led by the actress, and ignited a fresh political row in the state.

Moving swiftly, her lawyer Rizwan Siddiqui approached the Bombay High Court where a division bench comprising Justice S. J. Kathawalla and Justice R. I. Chagla stayed the demolition and kept the matter for further hearing on Thursday.

In his forceful plea, Siddiqui challenged the Bmc action terming it as "illegal, arbitrary, malafide, without application of mind, unreasonable, improper and violating principles of natural justice," and that there were no illegalities in the office that was virtually torn apart by the civic demolition squad.

While staying the action, the...
