Bombay High Court Orders Response to Hoarding Collapse Plea

The Bombay High Court directed Mumbai police to respond to Bhavesh Bhinde's petition, seeking to quash the FIR related to the Ghatkopar hoarding collapse that killed 17 people, claiming it was an 'act of God.' Bhinde argues for bail and challenges the legality of his arrest, citing lack of proper procedure. Concerns over illegal detention were raised by the court, scheduling the next hearing for July 26. Investigations into the collapse involve allegations of negligence in construction and illegal hoarding approvals, including the architect being granted bail amidst claims of issuing a faulty structural stability report.
