Bombay HC clubs petitions against SRK

September 04, 2008 22:07 IST

Bombay High Court will hear two different petitions alleging violation of various laws in the construction carried out by actor Shah Rukh Khan.

The first PIL, filed by Bhrashtachar Nirmulan Sanghatana, alleges that the construction of six-storey building -- in the rear side of Khan's bungalow 'Mannat' -- has spilled onto the space for a proposed adjacent road.

The width of the proposed road was curtailed to accommodate Khan's

construction, it alleges.

Another PIL, filed recently by Simpreet Singh and others, alleges violation of Urban Land Ceiling Act and Coastal Regulation Zone rules in the same construction.

Petitioners allege a total of 32 irregularities.

The high court on Thursday decided to hear both the cases simultaneously, and adjourned the hearing to September 19.
Khan is yet to file reply to Singh's petition; so are the government authorities.
