The Bombay High Court on Monday suspended demolition of an illegal portion of comedian Kapil Sharma’s office until November 23.

Sharma moved the Bombay High Court against a demolition notice issued by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation over an “illegal” portion of his office.

Sharma claimed the BMC notice was “bad in law” and served with mala fide intentions.

In his petition, Sharma said he had purchased a 1,000 square metres residential plot in Versova in February 2010 and was later given an occupation certificate.

He claimed that the BMC sent a notice to him in November 2014 that said that a portion of the structure was illegal. A local court stopped the civic body from taking action until it decided the case.

“…The BMC issued another notice on April 28 this year,” Sharma said in his plea before the Bombay High Court.

Sharma stirred up a major storm on September 9 after he tweeted about alleged corruption in the BMC to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“I am paying Rs. 15 crore income tax for the last five years. Still, I have to pay Rs 5 lakh bribe to BMC office (every year) for making my office. Is this your ‘Achhe Din’?” Kapil asked in a Tweet.

Later, the Mumbai police lodged two FIRs against the comedian under various charges pertaining to his Versova bungalow and Goregaon flat.
