                                        DATE     : 20TH MAY 2026
                                                   [ VACATION COURT ]

P.C. :

1.       Issue notice to the Respondent.

2. Mr. Mandar Soman, learned counsel for the Petitioner who is

original Plaintiff in the suit submits that the notice of today's hearing has

been given to the Respondent-Corporation.

3. Despite notice, no one appears for the Corporation. The trial

Court by its order dated 26th November 2025 had granted an injunction

restraining the Defendant from implementing the impugned notices

dated 11th May 2025, 13th October 2025 and 27th October 2025. The

learned District Judge in Misc. Appeal No.57 of 2025 has vacated the

3 WP-6721-2026.doc bdpsps

injunction and rejected Plaintiff's prayer for continuation of the status

quo order.

4. As no one appears for the Corporation today, in order to balance

the equities, it is directed that if the Respondent-Corporation undertakes

demolition pursuant to the aforesaid notices, it shall furnish 7 days

written notice to the Petitioner/original Plaintiff, to enable the Petitioner

to take appropriate steps, including seeking ad-interim reliefs in this

Petition.

5. List the matter on 15th June 2026 before the regular Court.
