The Undertaking Affidavit dated 27.03.2025 filed by the petitioner is taken on record.
3. Taking note of the fact that the Original Petition is of the year 2013, as the eviction has been ordered for demolition and reconstruction, one year time is too long. However, taking into consideration the nature of the business of the 2 / 5
