Kangana Ranaut told the Bombay High Court on Wednesday that she would file a regularisation application before the Mumbai civic body

Mumbai: 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.

Bombay High CourtJustice 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.

"The appellant (Ranaut) is permitted to apply for regularisation before the MCGM within a period of four weeks," Justice Chavan said.

The corporation shall decide the same expeditiously and in accordance with law, the court said.

Kangana Ranaut"In case of any adverse order against the appellant, no coercive action shall be taken thereafter by the BMC to enable the appellant to file appeal," the court said.

The city civic body in March 2018 had issued a notice to Ranaut for alleged illegal merger of three flats owned by her in Orchid Breeze building in suburban Khar.

Ranaut's petition said since she bought the flats in 2013, she had not made any structural changes.
