The Bombay High Court on Wednesday (December 18, 2024) expressed displeasure over illegal hoardings and banners in Mumbai, noting that civic officials have not taken concrete measures despite “explicit and clear” instructions. The court noted that political parties seemingly “lack respect” for the orders issued by it.
A Division Bench of Chief Justice Devendra Upadhyaya and Justice Amit Borkar took note of several photographs submitted by advocate Manoj Shirsat, representing intervenor activist Zoru Bhathena.
The images depicted a “swell of hoardings” at several places, including the one in front of the court premises in the Fort area, after the announcement of the Maharashtra Assembly election. The Bench is hearing a plea against illegal hoardings.
