    The Bombay High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Farouk Merwan Irani (later substituted by Farah Firdaus Bakshay) seeking a mandamus against MCGM and others to enforce a stop work notice dated December 31, 2024. The court held that the statutory authorities had already performed their duty by issuing the stop work notice and that writ courts cannot be used to monitor every action of statutory authorities or as a tool for harassment. The petition was found to lack bona fides, as it appeared designed to harass respondents 4-6 in an underlying property possession dispute. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
