                    --------------------------------
                       R.P. No.439 of 2024
             ----------------------------------------------
            Dated this the 05th day of April, 2024


                              ORDER

This review petition is filed by respondents 4 to 6 in the

writ petition to review the judgment dated 25.03.2024 in

W.P.(C). No.16363/2021. This Court disposed the writ petition

with following directions:

"Respondents 1 to 3 are allowed to demolish the building mentioned in Exts.P21 and P22 and once the building is reconstructed, the party respondents are free to approach the petitioners for accommodating them also in the new building which would be considered by the petitioners in the light of the direction in Ext.P22."

2. First of all I make it clear that the direction is not to

respondents 1 to 3 in the writ petition, but it is to the writ

petitioners and the writ petitioners are allowed to demolish

the building mentioned in Exts.P21 and P22. Ordered

accordingly. The review petitioners, who are respondents 4 to

6 in the writ petition, submitted that a breathing time is

necessary to vacate the premises before demolishing the

building because they are conducting some business in the

building.

3. Considering the facts and circumstances of the

case, the review petitioners are given six weeks time to vacate

the premises from today. If the premises are not vacated

within six weeks, the writ petitioners are allowed to demolish

the building as directed in the judgment.

With the above modification, this review petition is

disposed of.
