Sri.C.C.Thomas, learned senior counsel for the respondent submits that the very idea behind seeking extension beyond 31/03/2008 is to create a situation whereby his client's continuance in possession will become unlawful and the Corporation will be able to chuck him out of the premises. Hence learned counsel submitted that extension may not be granted beyond 28/03/2008. The standing counsel for the Corporation submitted that time till 07/04/2008 will be absolutely necessary for conducting auction and for completing the formalities for putting the successful auctioneer in possession. Considering the rival submissions, I.A. is allowed as prayed for. But it is made clear that till such time as re-tender proceedings are finalised and a new auctioneer is identified and put in possession, the first respondent will be permitted to continue in possession on the terms referred to in my judgment dated 18/02/2008 as reviewed by order dated 06/03/2008.
