(b) Be pleased to direct the Respondents to demolish the unauthorised construction demarcated in the Notice dated 02.07.1993 issued under section 52, 53 of MRTP Act, 1966.” 2. We are informed by the learned counsel for the Council that the illegal construction about which the petitioner has made complaint, has already been demolished by the builder, i.e., respondent no.4. Therefore the grievance of the petitioner is redressed. Learned counsel for the Counsel submitted that respondent no.4 has carried out certain illegal construction in respect of flat of the petitioner. We asked learned counsel for the petitioner whether this statement is correct. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that there is indeed some illegal construction. However, he states that the petitioner shall not allow the demolition of the illegal construction in respect of his flat because that will reduce the area of his flat. When any person invokes this Court’s writ jurisdiction and admits that illegal construction has been carried out in his flat, and states that that construction shall not be demolished, he is not entitled to any relief from this Court. We clarify that if there is any illegal construction, the Council will be at liberty to take steps to demolish it in accordance with law. Writ petition is disposed of. -: 3 :- wp- 2494/10 3. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that interim relief may be continued for some time. The prayer is rejected. (R.V. More, J.) (Smt. Ranjana Desai,J.)
