2. The challenge raised is to the order dated 07-10-2021 issued by

the Building Engineer (West) of the Nagpur Improvement Trust thereby

rejecting the building plan of the petitioner seeking development work

in the context of Plot No.68 admeasuring about 2062 square feet,

Khasra No.22/1 Kha, Prasad Gruh Nirman Sahakari Sanstha Limited of

Mouza-Sonegaon.

similar issue has been considered by this Court in Writ Petition

No.8285/2022 (Kartiki d/o Jagdish Pawar and another vs. Nagpur

Improvement Trust and another) decided on 14-2-2022. We find that

the rejection of the building permit on similar ground was set aside in

the light of discussion in paragraph Nos. 8 and 9 of the said judgment.
