after hearing the submissions of the learned Senior Advocate Mr. Savant for the Petitioners, as CIDCO was unable to make a statement. 2.

It was further recorded that the Petitioners were occupying commercial premises, whereas, what was being offered to them were residential premises. Hence, it was recorded that if all commercial premises were disposed off, grave prejudice would be caused to the Petitioners.

The learned Advocate for the Society submits that every tenement holder will get 560 sq. ft. of area. 5.

As recorded by the Co-ordinate Bench in the order dated 18th September 2024, prejudice would be caused to the Petitioners if the land being used for commercial purposes is utilized or disposed off. Since all these matters are required to be heard finally, we deem it appropriate to ...3
