    Case History
    Date: 22-02-2019
    Business: By pracipe.
    Adv. Mukesh Dubey for plaintiff is present and tendered draft NM with affidavit.  Leave is granted to register.
    Adv Mrs. Vyavhare for BMC/deft present.
    Order on ad-interim relief.
           By way of instant NM the plaintiff has prayed to grant temporary injunction restraining defendant MCGM from enforcing notice dated 23.05.2018 u/s 354 A of MMC Act, order dtd. 26.05.2018, notice dtd. 08.01.2019 u/s 488 of MMC Act and order dtd. 12.02.2019.  It will not be out of place to mention here that notice u/s 488 is outcome of the order dtd. 26.05.2018 pursuant to notice u/s 354 A of MMC Act dtd. 23.05.2018.
          Ld. Advocate for the defendant has submitted that in pursuance of order dtd. 26.05.2018, unauthorized structure was partly demolished on 30.05.2018 and the plaintiff undertook to demolish remaining unauthorised structure within sometime. It means the plaintiff had sufficient opportunity to challenge the proceeding u/s 354 A of MMC Act after 26.05.2018 till today.  In other words, the plaintiff is coming before the Civil Court for urgent relief after a period of 9 months.
          Ld. Advocate for plaintiff has invited my attention to patch holder card to point out that the suit premises is situated in slum area and therefore, defendant corporation is debarred from taking any action against such structure situated in slum area. At the cost of repetition, the plaintiff did not raise this issue at the earliest.  Moreover, he has not filed on record notification u/s 3 of Slum Act declaring the area as slum.  It is also pertinent to note that the notice dtd. 23.05.2018, is for alleged unauthorised construction of second floor to the existing G plus one structure.  Therefore, the defendant is not challenging authorization of said G plus one structure. For all the aforesaid reasons, I do not find that the plaintiff is entitled for urgent reliefs in terms of prayer clauses of the NM.
    Hence, ad-interim relief is rejected.
