3. As per the status report, the property already stands booked for unauthorised construction. Show cause notice was issued to the owner. A demolition order was passed on 14.12.2017. Intimation has already been sent to the concerned authorities to disconnect the electricity and water supply and also to the Sub-Registrar to not register any title documents of the said property. It is informed that property has already been sealed and prosecution has already been launched against the owner of the said property.
4. Learned counsel for the respondent submits that a vacation notice has been issued and demolition/sealing programme has been slated for 11.03.2022. The statement is taken on record.

It is, however, clarified that this would be without prejudice to the right of the owner/occupier to impugn the action of the Corporation in accordance with law before the appropriate Court/Tribunal.
