Ghatkopar hoarding collapse: Bombay High Court seeks State response to bail plea by ad agency's director

The Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra state government to respond to a bail plea filed by the director of an advertising agency involved in the Ghatkopar hoarding collapse case. The collapse, which occurred in 2017, resulted in several fatalities and injuries. The director, who has been accused of negligence, is seeking bail on the grounds that he has been in custody for an extended period without a trial. The court has demanded the state's response to the plea, stressing the importance of addressing the matter promptly due to the severity of the case and the director's prolonged detention.
