    Business: Adv. Priyank Shukla for Plaintiff present.
    Adv. Vyavahare for defendant/BMC present.
    The Ld. Adv. for the plaintiff seeks adjournment on the ground that the plaintiff has to move to the Honble High Court  for taking necessary steps by way of interim relief in view of the earlier orders passed by the Honble High Court. However, considering the order dtd. 17.10.2023, matter is time bound as per the directions of the Honble High Court. Hence, short adjournment granted with directions to the plaintiff to file evidence and compilation on next date.
    Matter is adjd  to 26.04.2024 for evidence of plaintiff.

    Adv. Pradeep Patil for MCGM present.
    Ld. Adv. for plaintiff has tendered an application for adjournment. Taken on record and marked at Exh. 7
    Order on Exh. 7
          It is submitted that after passing the order dtd. 17.10.2023 in A. O. No. 830/22, the plaintiff again took out I.A. No. 1160/24 and by consent, the said matter adjourned to 14.06.2024. It is submitted that there is likelihood that the matter may be settled on the date fixed for. Hence, considering these circumstances, adjournment granted with directions to the plaintiff to file evidence on record without on next date, if matter is not settled.

    Adv. Om Suryawanshi for Defendant/MCGM present.
    Ld. Adv. For plaintiff has tendered draft Ch/s along with affidavit in support.  TOR. O- Leave granted to register the draft Ch/s. Copy served to other side. Say filed by Ld. Adv. for MCGM on overleaf of the draft Ch/s. Taken on record.
    Order on draft Chamber summons
         Considering the submissions of both sides, it reveals that the plaintiff wants to incorporate the area of the suit premises 203.51 sq. mtrs in the place of gala no. 19/63, 16/22 in para 2 and further wants to incorporate the area of the suit premises 203.51 sq. mtr in the place of gala no. 19/63, 16/22 in the prayer clause (d) on the ground that  the same is wrongly mentioned due to typographical error. On the other hand, Ch/s is strongly opposed by the Ld. Adv. for defendant/MCGM on the ground that the plaintiff was already aware about these facts. Thus, having regard to the submissions of both sides, in my view, nature of amendment is formal and necessary and the matter is at a primary stage. Hence, Ch/s deserves to be allowed. In the result following order is passed -
    ORDER
    1.  Draft chamber summons is allowed.
    2. The plaintiff is directed to comply the order on today itself, as the matter is time bound as per the directions of the Honble High Court.
    3. The plaintiff is further directed to get the draft Chamber summons registered and put up the same on record for statistical purpose only.
