      The Court :- Order in terms of prayer (a) of the stay petition.

      Having heard learned counsel for parties, we are in a position to dispose

of this appeal, dispensing with all formalities.

      We modify the impugned judgment and order dated 6th August, 2024 to

the following effect :

      The owner/sub-lessee shall be at liberty to make the required application

before the municipal authority for conversion of the use of the subject

premises. The authority shall be at liberty to process the said application and

propose a decision. By the time the decision is made, we are hopeful that the

interim application will be ready to be considered after exchange of affidavits

and the court will have an overall view of the prima facie case of        the parties.
                                          2


The proposed decision of the municipal authority shall be placed before the

court for approval.

      Till disposal of the interim application, the lessee will be able to carry out

their business in the usual course without making any long term changes to

the structure i.e. without making any capital expenditure.

      The appeal (APOT/297/2024) and the connected application (IA No.GA-

COM/1/2024) are disposed of.
