The grievance of the petitioner is that their structures have been demolished over night, except that of Petitioner No.3, and their case for regularisation has not been considered and that they have got right to prefer an appeal in the matter and, therefore, they have approached this Court. 2 2. It is not disputed by the petitioners that they were occupying the Government land but they claim that their structures are eligible for being regularised. We, therefore, dispose of this petition with directions to the Respondents to follow due process in the matter by permitting the petitioners to take recourse or remedy available to them under law. With these directions, this petition is disposed of. [SMT.NISHITA [SMT.NISHITA [SMT.NISHITA MHATRE,J] MHATRE,J] MHATRE,J] [J.N.PATEL,J] [J.N.PATEL,J] [J.N.PATEL,J]
