Item No.24
THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE HIMA KOHLI
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. VIJAYSEN REDDY
W.A.No.342 of 2019
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Hima Kohli)
1. On the last date of hearing, the matter was adjourned at the
request made on behalf of learned counsel for the appellant/writ
petitioner on the ground that he was indisposed. Learned Standing
Counsel for the respondents No.2 and 3/GHMC had clarified that
nothing survives in the present appeal, as the structure erected by the appellant/writ petitioner on the subject land was demolished almost a year ago on 03.05.2020.
2. Today, learned counsel for the appellant/writ petitioner concedes that the structure stood demolished on 03.05.2020.
3. That being the position, nothing further survives for adjudication in the present appeal. However, as learned counsel for the appellant/writ petitioner states that the appellant/writ petitioner reserves his right to seek damages against the respondents No.5 and 6 for the loss caused to him on account of the demolition action undertaken by the civic authorities, without making any observations on the merits of any such suit, that may be instituted by the appellant/writ petitioner, or the pleas that may be available to the W.A.No.342 of 2019 Page 1 of 2 respondents No.5 and 6 to oppose such suit, if filed, the present appeal is disposed of with liberty granted, as prayed for, along with the pending applications, if any.
