1.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners. We have perused the impugned order dated 23/03/2026. It is the grievance of the petitioners that no sufficient opportunity was granted to the petitioners to respond to the notice for demolition of the suit structures. It is the contention of the petitioners that the suit structures are in existence for more than 60 years. The petitioners have relied upon some documents to indicate that existence of the said structures was from 1975, but the same could not be produced as no sufficient time is granted to the respond to the

Ingale 905-wp-3875-26.odt show cause notice.
