Local (Municipal) laws govern the subject matter, whereas this site is worldwide.

It will be better to consult a local prudent lawyer for analyses of facts/ documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

As the ultimate purpose is approaching the court, it is better to obtain certified copies.

You can get the information from the BMC website in detail hence instead of being misguided by incomplete information through some forums, you may visit the website and clarify the details or can visit the office of the BMC within your area and confirm the same.
