    Summary The Bombay High Court dismissed approximately 26 civil applications filed by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai seeking condonation of delay in filing appeals ranging from 1-9 years against demolition notices. Justice Jitendra Jain held that the Corporation's explanation—that officers failed to report case progress following the 2017 Kamla Mills tragedy—did not constitute "sufficient cause" for the massive delay. However, the Court granted liberty to the Corporation to conduct fresh inspections and initiate new action based on current illegalities, and directed the Corporation to file a compliance report by August 12, 2026, regarding disciplinary proceedings against negligent officers and their superiors.
