MUMBAI, Feb 21:
Remove illegal hoardings, banners and posters by March 21 the Bombay High Court today directed all the municipal corporations in Maharashtra.
The direction was given by the division bench of Justices SJ Vazifdar and BP Colabawala during the hearing a bunch of public interest litigations on the issue of illegal hoardings of political parties and others.
Advocate Uday Warunjikar, petitioners’ lawyer, pointed out a March 15, 2013 order of another bench of the High Court which had asked for removal of illegal hoardings in 48 hours. ‘Corporations submitted compliance report that all illegal hoardings have been removed. But today the situation is back to the square one and is likely to worsen with elections coming up,’ Warunjikar argued. (UNI)
