The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, rejected the Bharatiya Janata Party s (BJP) plea to grant it the Leader of Opposition (LoP) status in the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), which it had refused in 2017 since it was then in coalition with Shiv Sena. The LoP post cannot be claimed on mere change of heart. This is an everyday phenomenon in politics. Today, you may be friends, tomorrow not. Legal rights cannot be dependent on relations between the parties, ruled a bench headed by Chief Justice of India Sharad Arvind Bobde, which also comprised Justices AS Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian.
The MCGM, also known as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), had in March 2018 issued a notice to Ranaut over merger of three flats owned by her in the Orchid Breeze building in Khar area.

Mumbai: In a surprise move, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut unconditionally withdrew the suit in Bombay High Court, which challenged notices issued by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) for illegally merging her three flats in suburban Khar.
The actress’ counsel unconditionally withdrew the suit she had filed against the BMC over a demolition notice in connection to illegal construction of her Khar residence in 2018. The suit will be withdrawn within four days, according to a statement by Ranaut’s advocate Birendra Saraf in court.
MUMBAI : Actor Kangana Ranaut told the Bombay High Court on Wednesday that she would file a regularisation application before the Mumbai civic body in connection with alleged irregularities at her residential flats in suburban Khar.
Ranaut’s counsel Birendra Saraf sought to withdraw the appeal filed by the actor against a civil court’s December 2020 order dismissing her suit challenging notices issued by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) for illegally merging three flats in a suburban building.
Justice Prithviraj Chavan permitted Ranaut to withdraw the appeal and said no coercive action shall be taken by the civic body until the application for regularisation is heard and decided, and for two weeks thereafter.
