MUMBAI,
 
ACTOR Kangana Ranaut on Monday denied the Mumbai civic body’s claim in the Bombay High Court that she had made illegal structural alterations at her Pali Hill bungalow, part of which was demolished on September 9. In a rejoinder affidavit filed in response to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) reply to her plea, Ranaut stated she didn’t make any structural changes or repairs illegally. She also denied that her plea seeking that the demolition be declared illegal and that she be paid Rs 2 crore in damage by the BMC, was an abuse of the process of law.
 
“I deny that I have carried out unlawful additions and alterations as alleged or at all,” the affidavit said. Last week, the BMC, through its counsel Joel Carlos, had filed an affidavit before a bench led by Justice S J Kathawalla, responding to Ranaut’s petition. The civic body had said the actress had made major structural changes to the building without the civic body’s permission.
 
It had said BMC officials were merely following the rule of law in razing these alterations on September 9. The civic body had urged the high court to dismiss Ranaut’s plea and impose a cost upon her for filing the petition, which it said was an “abuse” of the process of law. In her rejoinder affidavit, Ranaut said the civic body had abused the statutory process by initiating the demolition of a part of her property without giving her adequate notice.
