    Court Decision Summary The Bombay High Court dismissed approximately 26 civil applications filed by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai seeking to condone delays of 1-9 years in filing appeals against demolition notices. The court rejected the Corporation's excuse that the 2017 Kamla Mills tragedy prompted discovery of pending cases, finding that officer negligence and lack of supervision constituted insufficient cause to condone an 8-year 230-day delay. However, the court permitted the Corporation to conduct fresh inspections and initiate new enforcement actions based on current illegalities, while directing strict departmental action against responsible officers and superiors by August 12, 2026.
