Bollywood actress-producer Anushka Sharma has been given a clean chit by the BMC, who sent her a notice on April 6 for installation of an electric junction box in the common passage area of her building allegedly without taking permission from the civic body. The civic body issued the notice to Anushka Sharma based on a complaint by a resident of the housing society.After the complaint from another resident of Badrinath Towers, the local ward office had termed it as "objectionable". Now, the same office, in a letter sent to the complainant, has said the "common passage (in question) is owned by Sharma".
The BMC now in a letter to resident Sunil Batra, the complainant stated that after investigations, civic body officials discovered that the electric junction box is fixed in the common passage, which is owned by Anushka Sharma's father. According to The Times of India, Batra claims this is preferential treatment doled out to Sharma, who is a famous personality, after BMC's decision that there is no wrongdoing on the actress' part.
Following the complaint, the BMC inspected the site and in a written communication to the actor said it is "highly objectionable". Now, two months later, the assistant engineer (building & factory department) of K west ward has written to Batra, saying "Electrical junction boxes are fixed on the wall. It is fixed just like in their own home. Total common passage is owned by Shri Sharma (Anushka's father)...".Batra said this is a case of preferential treatment given to a well-known personality. "The law should be uniform for all and if they are allowed to own the common passage, everyone should be allowed to do so across the city," he added.
BMC's earlier notice, based on Batra's complaint, directed Sharma to remove the electric junction box from the common passage area immediately, failing which necessary action will be initiated. Anushka Sharma, residing on the 20th floor of Badrinath Tower housing society in suburban Versova, however, denied any wrongdoing.
Sunil Batra, who lives on the 16th floor, had complained to municipal commissioner Ajoy Mehta in May against the junction box handling the wiring of the entire floor as well as of the central AC. The two wooden cabinets - 10 ft high, 4 ft wide and 15 inches deep - are covered with wallpaper and kept locked. "This is in violation of fire brigade rules and high court has also passed the judgment of common areas to be free of any encumbrances," said the complainant's letter.
The notice did not bear the name of the actor, and was sent to the owner of flat nos. 2001 and 2002 of the Badrinath Tower.
Denying the allegation, a spokesperson of the actress said "There is nothing illegal about any construction or installation."
"The actress owns three flats on the 20th floor and all the permissions since 2013 are in place. Anushka and her family are law abiding and responsible citizens and wouldn't do anything to cause inconvenience or harm to anyone," the spokesperson said in a statement.
