( 2 ) Civil Application No. 270 of 2010 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders 2. The Writ Petition is filed by CIDCO, objecting to an order passed by the Honourable Minister, dated 23rd June 2004, withdrawing the acquisition to the extent of Gut No. 124/1 of village Satara (Tahsil & District : Aurangabad). The present application is moved by the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation whose application for intervention has been allowed by this court. 3. The grievance of the applicant is that the order passed by this court, dated 7th March 2007 comes in the way of the Corporation in initiating proceedings for acquiring land which forms subject matter of this Writ Petition, for the purpose of road widening. Hence, clarification is sought in regard to the order, directing parties to maintain status quo. On perusal of the order, it is revealed that the order of status quo was ( 3 ) Civil Application No. 270 of 2010 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders passed against respondent no.7 / land owner in regard to the subject property and he was directed not to change the nature of the subject property pending consideration of Writ Petition. It appears that by way of abundant precaution, the present application is moved by the Corporation. 4. Mr. S.D. Kulkarni, learned Counsel appearing for original respondent no.7, who is non-applicant no.8 in the Civil Application, has no objection if the order is modified so as to permit the applicant to initiate proceedings for acquisition of the land. 5. In that view of the matter, we modify / clarify the order dated 7th March 2007, that the said order, in no way, causes any impediment in the way of the applicant / Corporation from taking ( 4 ) Civil Application No. 270 of 2010 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders appropriate steps for acquiring the property for road widening, in accordance with law. 6. With the above directions and observations, the Civil Application is disposed of. (N.D. DESHPANDE) (A.P. DESHPANDE) JUDGE JUDGE bgp/ca270
