Parties through their counsel.

2.

We find that the Petitioner has already approached to the Maharashtra Slum Tribunal for redressal of his grievances. 3.

According to the Petitioner, since the Tribunal was not functional, the prayer for interim relief as to stop Respondent No. 4 from constructing the temple at unauthorized place could not be made. As a result, the Petition has been filed. 4.

On instruction, the learned counsel for the Respondent No. 1 submits that the Maharashtra Slum Tribunal is now Vishal Parekar 1/2

909-wpl-183-2018.doc functional and the Petitioner can now file a fresh Application before the Tribunal.

5.

In the circumstances, we dispose of this Petition with liberty to the Petitioner to file a fresh Application for stay before the Maharashtra Slum Tribunal.

6.

In case such Application for stay is filed by the Petitioner, we expect that the Tribunal shall decide the same as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with law after giving due opportunity of hearing to the learned counsel for the parties. 7.

All contentions in respect of the said Application as may be filed are kept open.

8.

The Petition is disposed of as such.
