Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 08 September 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: Bright Outdoor Media Ltd (formerly Bright Outdoor Media Pvt. Ltd) and another party; Respondents: Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai and others.
- The petition arose from an impugned judgment and order dated 21‑08‑2026 in IA No. 804/2022 in WP No. 3032/2023 passed by the Bombay High Court.
- Petitioners sought Special Leave to Appeal against the High Court’s interim order which imposed a liability of Rs 11,00,00,000 (eleven crore rupees) on them.
- Senior counsel for petitioners contended that the Rs 11 crore amount was arrived at by the Municipal Corporation without any basis.
- The Court noted that the impugned order is interim and therefore not inclined to interfere.
Final Outcome
- The Supreme Court disposed of the Special Leave Petition, directing that no coercive steps be taken against the petitioners pending any further application.
- Petitioners were granted time to file an application before the High Court for modification of the quantum, if desired, on or before 18 September 2026; the High Court will decide the matter independently of this order.
- The pending application before the Supreme Court was also disposed of.
