Saraf draws Court's attention to its Sunbeam judgment on the issue of prior notice of 7 days which needs to be given. He adds Section 354a is the only provision which BMC invokes for ongoing construction.
"Kangana Ranaut has been wronged as I have already said no ongoing work was there."

Now, Senior Advocate Birendra Saraf for Kangana Ranaut tells Court that the work was completed on the property in January by Orange LLP.
Saraf: They have said I have converted a toilet into a room/study, what is wrong in that your lordship? I can get it regularised later if required!

Justice Kathawalla to Raut's Lawyer: We also don't agree with what the petitioner has said. But is this the way to address? You are a leader. We are proud of being Maharashtrians, but is this the way to react?
Justice Kathawalla continues: You have to show grace. You cannot use such language. We are all Maharashtrians, and proud to be Maharashtrians but we have to show grace. This is not the way.
Raut's counsel: The language used could have been avoided

Sanjay Raut's Advocate says that there was no "threatening message". He only said that the petitioner is very dishonest and that media is supporting such dishonesty...
Justice Kathawalla: What is "Kanoon kya hein?" ("What is law")
Rauts Advocate: Kanoon kya hai was made after Kangana Ranaut said that "Maharashtra is not safe".
