Court orders compensation against the loss caused to Kangana Ranaut. HC has also orders to appoints valuers for evaluating the damage caused by such demolition. Bombay High Court says the valuer will submit a report to the court after which it will pass an order on compensation to Kangana Ranaut
Court also said Ranaut is allowed to take steps to make her property habitable. But that would be in compliance with the approved plan. If an application is made to BMC for approval, it will be decided within 4 weeks.
Court has called the demolition was a reactionary activity because of the controversial remarks made by Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut against Ranaut.
"Even if one assumes that the malice does not amount to personal bias and may call for a trial, it does amount to legal malice. The manner in which the action was carried out leaves no doubt that not using Section 354 was more sinister and preventing her from taking a recourse."
Court also asks the actor to show restrain while commenting on other people on social media and otherwise.
After hearing c took to Twitter and said, “When an individual stands against the government and wins, it’s not the victory of the individual but it’s the victory of the democracy. Thank you to everyone who gave me courage and thanks to those who laughed at my broken dreams. It only causes you to play a villain so I can be a HERO."
