Mumbai & Ors. ..Respondents ---- Mr. Joaquim Reis i/by Tanvir Shaikh for the appellants. Mrs. K.K.Soraan for the respondent/BMC. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 24th August, 2009. PC 1 Heard both sides. Admit. By consent, matter is taken up for final hearing. 2 This is an appeal filed by the original plaintiffs against an order dated 18.8.2009 passed by the learned Judge, City Civil Court, refusing to grant ad-interim relief in Notice of Motion No.1286/2009 filed by the plaintiffs. By the order which is impugned in the main suit, the BMC relying upon a new policy which is brought into force on 10.1.2008, called upon the plaintiffs to reduce their hoarding size from 20ft x 30ft to 20ft x 20ft. It is seen that the interim relief has been rejected on the ground that there is no urgency though the impugned order was passed on 23.7.2009 and served upon the plaintiffs on 28.7.2009. Several contentions are raised on behalf of the appellants. One of the contention is that there is no requirement of reduction of size as mentioned in the new policy. The other 2 contention is that the new policy is prospective. It is also contended that under the policy, an advertisement of 16ft x 20ft can be erected on the terrace in a building situated in zone H-1. These are the matters that requires consideration. In the circumstances, appeal is disposed off with a direction to the parties to maintain status-quo pending the Notice of Motion. Notice of Motion to be decided without being influenced by any observations made in this order. Hearing of the Notice of Motion is expedited and the same may be disposed off within a period of 90 days from filing of the reply by the BMC. Appeal stands disposed off accordingly. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
