    Summary The Bombay High Court quashed the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai's demolition order dated 25th March 2026 against Mahendra Builders for unauthorized construction, finding it violated prior court directions requiring the officer to specify whether the construction was compoundable and provide detailed reasons. The court allowed the petitioners four weeks to apply for compounding of the unauthorized structure under Section 53(3) of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, directing the authority to consider their statutory rights and the April 2025 guidelines.
