The commission has sought a reply from the civic administration on an affidavit on the same before the next hearing. It had mentioned mid-day’s reports on the resort. The next hearing is scheduled for October 20. mid-day is in possession of the summon order issued by the commission. On April 26, the Bombay High Court paved the way for demolition of Sun Beach resort. But the R Central ward of BMC did not act and the resort business continues as usual.
