3.10.2023 : Due to
the site’s proximity to the naval missile battery base INS Trata, the Bombay
High Court ordered BMC to process Girish Agarwal, the director of the Dainik
Bhaskar,'s application for permission to reconstruct a three-story house in
Worli within four months.
A division bench
Justice Sunil B Shukre and Justice MW Chandwani observed :
“the facts of this case are so glaring that it would be illogical and
even absurd to say that same building with same height at the same place as the
earlier building which existed in the vicinity of INS Trata would become a
security hazard upon its construction. What was not a hazardous structure from
security view point would not become so only because it is constructed anew
without any increase in height.”
