Overview

• On July 15 the Bombay High Court ordered residents of floors 17–34 at the Willingdon View high-rise in Tardeo to vacate their flats within two weeks for illegal occupancy
• The bench found no Occupation Certificate for the top 18 stories and no final fire department NOC for any floor of the 34-level tower
• Justices Kulkarni and Doctor refused to renew interim protection, labeling petitions for regularisation as audacious legal obstructions
• Despite at least eight BMC notices since 2011, enforcement actions remain paused for floors 1–16 until the next hearing on July 29
• The court warned that non-compliance would allow the municipal corporation to resume demolition measures and underscored the structure’s fire safety hazards
