    Summary The Bombay High Court dismissed approximately 26 civil applications filed by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai seeking to condone delays ranging from 1-9 years in filing appeals against 2009 demolition notices. The court held that officer negligence and the subsequent 2017 Kamla Mills incident did not constitute "sufficient cause" for the extreme delays, though it granted liberty to the Corporation to conduct fresh inspections and initiate new action based on current illegalities, with strict disciplinary proceedings mandated against responsible officers and superiors.
