2. The petitioner has filed the revision petition aggrieved with the order of the third respondent. The impugned order has been passed denying the regularisation of unauthorised construction put up by the petitioner.

3. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the third respondent would submit that the issue in this case, is covered by the order of the Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court in W.P(MD) Nos.8630 and 5135 of 2017, W.P(MD) Nos.15379 of 2017, 914 of 2018 and 26670 of 2019. Therefore, he would submit that the civil revision petition is liable to be dismissed.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioner would fairly concede the submission of the learned Standing Counsel, and submitted before this Court that after passing the impugned order, the new master plan came into existence from the year 2019. Therefore, the learned counsel for the petitioner seeks for a liberty to again file an application for regularisation under the new master plan. This Court is of the view that there is nothing wrong to give such liberty to the petitioner in the advent of the new master plan. 3/5

5. Thus, this Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is given liberty to submit a fresh application under the new master plan of the year 2019. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
