Seventy-four persons, including children and women, were killed when the 7-storey under-construction building, with no permissions whatsoever, crashed exactly one month ago.
Opposing the bail applications of the builder and other accused, prosecutor Hemlata Deshmukh told judge K R Warrier that Thane Municipal Corporation officials had gone to the site on April 2 to serve the notice.
Investigation was on and some more arrests were expected, the prosecutor told the court.
Bail applications have been filed by builder Siddiqui, Deputy Municipal Commissioner Deepak Chavan, and a few others. A total of 22 persons have been arrested in the case.

Urging bail for Siddiqui, senior lawyer Majeed Memon argued that "intention" to kill could not be attributed to the accused.
He had no foreknowledge that the building will collapse and he himself lost six members of his family in the collapse, Memon argued.
According to the prosecution, the construction was so flawed that the seven-storey building had only two feet deep foundation.
