Entertaining this writ petition will send a wrong message that people who make public posturing can get away with their unlawful activities : Chinoy (BMC's lawyer).

2020-09-28 11:00 GMT

Petitioner comes across as a person who is lacking in candour, who does not come clean on when the construction was done, who makes evasive responses. She simply says the construction did not take place on Sep 7th; but does not say when : Chinoy.

You cannot say "some people", "certain quarters" etc and allege mala-fides : Chinoy.

2020-09-28 10:59 GMT

Chinoy refers to Kangana's petition and says the allegations on mala fides are vauge. Words like "certain quarters" "displeased some" etc are used. No names are taken.

"If you want to allege mala fide, you must be ready to bite, must be ready to wound", he says.
