Special Judge Mridula Bhatkar of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) Court has been hearing the case.

The Bombay High Court had set Monday (June 11) as the deadline for the much-awaited judgement in the case that had exposed alleged links between civic body officials and the underworld.

The judge, however, said she had not finished dictating the judgement on Monday.

The unauthorised twin shopping malls at Crawford Market in South Mumbai were constructed on Public Works Department land reserved for a municipal school in connivance with Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) officials.
