Prayer clauses (f),(h) and (i) of the Plaint pertain to reliefs against Defendant No.4 corporation.  Ld. counsel for the Plaintiff admits that the building is demolished already.  As such prayers (f) and (h) against Defendant No.4 corporation have become infructuous.  Prayer clause (i) claims relief that Defendant No.4 be directed to comply guidelines issued in W.P.No. 1135/2014. Defendant No.4 is a statutory body and it is mere apprehension of the Plaintiff that the Defendant No.4 will not comply the aforesaid guidelines.  The Plaintiff has not shown any proof of such apprehension.  As such, no such prayer can be granted by the Civil Court.  In this backdrop presence of Defendant No.4 corporation is not necessary in order to enable the Court effectually and completely adjudicate upon and settled all the questions involved in the Suit.  In view of this order, the name of Defendant No.4 corporation, which is    improperly joined, be struck-out.
