DATED : 20th JUNE 2025 ORDER:

1.

On 10th June 2025, learned counsel for MHADA was granted time to point out the supporting law for the proceedings initiated by MHADA to evict the appellants.

2.

Learned counsel for MHADA fairly submits that the notice and order impugned in the suit are not supported by any procedural law. He therefore on instructions of Mr. Anil Rathod, Executive Engineer states that the notice dated 13th February 2025 and order dated 5th May 2025 be permitted to be withdrawn with liberty to initiate appropriate proceedings as permissible in law in respect of the suit structure.

The suit before the City Civil Court is filed by the appellants to challenge the said notice dated 13th February 2025 and order dated 5th May 2025. Hence, in view of the aforesaid statement, the appeal is allowed by passing the following order: I) MHADA is permitted to withdraw the notice dated 13th February 2025 and order dated 5th May 2025 with the liberty to adopt appropriate proceedings in respect of the suit structure as permissible in law. Hence, notice dated 13th February 2025 and order dated 5th May 2025 stands quashed and set aside.

II) Suit No. 1080 of 2025 stands disposed of as infructuous.

4.

The appeal is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. In view of disposal of the appeal, pending applications are disposed of as infructuous.
