P.C. :

A common judgment in all these writ petitions is delivered in 2/3

the open Court today in the presence of the learned senior counsel and learned counsel for the respective parties. These writ petitions are dismissed.

2.

Let the original signed judgment be kept in the records. 3.

At this stage, Mr. Vishal Kanade, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in Writ Petition No.6746 of 2024 makes a prayer for continuance of the interim order dated 23rd October 2024 for a period of four weeks. This prayer is opposed by the learned counsels appearing for the respondents and, in particular, Mr. Pravin Samdani, the learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent no.6 in the said writ petition on the ground that the petitioner's land has not been acquired.

4.

As we have recorded a finding that the procedure adopted by the respondent-authority is correct and there is no illegality in the impugned notification dated 7th October 2024, the prayer seeking continuance of the order dated 23rd October 2024 is declined.
