According to IANS, Ranaut’s lawyer Rizwan Siddique had “challenged the BMC notice earlier in the morning before the high court, contending that there are no illegalities in the office works even as the civic demolition squad swooped on the premises in Bandra West.”<br /><br />The Bombay High Court has now asked the BMC to file its reply to the actress’ plea challenging the demolition order by 3 p.m. on Thursday.<br /><br />The ruckus in the country's financial capital was expected after Ranaut declared that she would be travelling from Mohali to Mumbai. She got herself a 'Y' category security, approved by the Union Home Ministry under Amit Shah, after threats from Shiv Sena leaders. The political drama has been the only go-to spot for all paparazzi today. <br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/health/news/why-the-latest-surge-in-covid-19-infections-in-india-may-cause-more-deaths/articleshow/78011731.cms">What India’s rising COVID-19 infections don’t⁠ reveal — the lack of health infrastructure in remote areas</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/space/news/northrop-grumman-names-its-next-space-ship-after-kalpana-chawla-the-first-woman-of-indian-origin-to-go-to-space/articleshow/78018575.cms">Northrop Grumman names its next space ship after Kalpana Chawla — the first woman of Indian-origin to go to space</a><br /><br /></strong><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/retail/news/reliance-retail-raises-1-billion-from-silver-lake-valuing-the-chain-at-57-billion/articleshow/78009435.cms"><strong>Reliance Retail raises $1 billion from Silver Lake valuing the chain at $57 billion</strong></a><br /><br /><br /><br />
