Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that the proposed action by the respondent for demolition is now planned for 13.02.2017.

Learned counsel for the respondent has put in appearance on an advance notice. His submission is that the contempt proceedings have been initiated by one Sunil Pokhrial as to why SDMC had not taken any action qua this property inspite of undertaking.
