On September 10, 2026, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) served a notice to stop work on the property owned by Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn in the Juhu area of Mumbai. The notice cited unauthorized alterations that had been carried out on the building. Despite the directive, the construction activity continued, setting the stage for a subsequent enforcement action.
The work that drew the BMC’s attention included changes to the facade and structural elements of the bungalow. These modifications were undertaken without obtaining the required permissions from the civic authority. The unauthorized construction encompassed both aesthetic and load‑bearing alterations.
The building was being used for a commercial purpose under a lease agreement. The lease, which began on August 10, 2026, was set to run for five years and was valued at 10.61 crore rupees. The agreement involved a property company that had taken over the premises for renovation work, a detail that later became central to the dispute.
After issuing the notice on September 10, 2026, the BMC observed that work on the bungalow persisted.
Ajay Devgn’s mansion was leased to a property company for renovation without first securing permission from the relevant authorities. This arrangement led to a disagreement with the Juhu Cooperative Housing Society (CO‑House), which manages the building. The society objected to the works being carried out without its consent, even though it had issued a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for certain aspects.
Although the housing society had provided an NOC, the BMC maintained that the overall construction remained unauthorized because the necessary civic approvals were missing.
After issuing the notice on September 10, 2026, the BMC observed that work on the bungalow persisted. Despite the clear instruction to halt all activity, the construction crew continued with the facade and structural modifications. This defiance triggered the next step in the enforcement process.
The period between the notice and the eventual demolition saw ongoing activity at the Juhu Cooperative Housing Society bungalow. Construction work continued at the site even after the BMC’s directive, indicating that the stop‑work order was not effective in halting the project.
On October 17, 2026, the BMC carried out a demolition operation at Ajay Devgn’s mansion. Teams tore down parts of the structure that had been built without permission. The action targeted the unauthorized facade and structural changes that had been the subject of the earlier notice.
The unauthorized construction that was removed covered an area of 7,802 square feet, representing the measured extent of the work that had been undertaken without the requisite approvals and that was subsequently demolished by the civic body.
The case also involves a sum of 16 lakhs rupees. This amount is associated with the matter, alongside the lease value and the measured area.
Following the demolition, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation stated that it had initiated strict action against unauthorized construction at the bungalow. The corporation continues to enforce its building regulations, signaling that further steps may be taken if any additional violations are discovered.
