1 SNS IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI APPELLATE CIVIL JURISDICTION APPEAL FROM ORDER NO.438 OF 2010 WITH CIVIL APPLICATION NO.571 OF 2010 Balkrishna M. Patil ...Appellant. v. Sangli, Miraj and Kupwad City Corporation, Sangli ...Respondents. Mr. A.M.Kulkarni, adv. For the Appellant. Mr. Sudhir Prabhu, adv. For the Respondent No.1. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : JULY 5, 2011. P.C. 1 Heard. This appeal was preferred against the refusal of the trial Court to strike the defence of the respondent in Regular Civil Suit No.256 of 1998. According to the plaintiffs/appellants, defendants/respondents were trying to take forcible possession without completing formalities of acquisition of the property. This was denied by the Municipal Corporation. The learned counsel for the Municipal Corporation makes a statement that even today the Municipal Corporation has no intention to take forcible possession without following due process of law for acquisition. In view of these circumstances, I find no substance in the appeal. 2 2 The appeal stands dismissed. 3 In the result, civil application no.571 of 2010 also does not survive and stands disposed off.
