1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION (L) NO. 1109 OF 2009 M/s. Paradise and Bhoomi Developers & Anr. Petitioners Vs State of Maharashtra & Ors. Respondents -- Shri A.M. Saraogi for the Petitioners. Shri D.A. Nalawade, GP for the State. Mrs. Geeta Jogalekar for the BMC. -- CORAM : SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J. & A.M. KHANWILKAR, J DATED : 27TH JULY, 2009. P.C. Counsel appearing for the Petitioners wishes to withdraw the Petition with liberty to make representation before the concerned Authority, as, according to him, the water charges have not been computed properly. Besides, the Authority has also not taken into consideration the points as raised in the Petition. The petitioners are raising various grounds. We do not consider it necessary to go into all these factual disputes. The Writ Petition is allowed to be withdrawn with liberty as prayed, however, subject to condition that the Petitioner will pay 50% of the demand raised by the 2 Respondents in the present Writ Petition within four weeks from today and thereafter make representation to the concerned Authority. If such a representation is made before the Respondent- Authority and the amount is deposited, the concerned Authority shall decide the same within a period of four weeks thereafter. 2. The Respondent Authority shall decide the said representation and inform the Petitioners of the demand, if any, and if the amount of demand is found to be excessive, the amount would be refunded to the Petitioners. We make it clear that till that time no action would be taken against the Petitioners in relation to non-payment of water charges alone. We make it clear that this order has no bearing on the issue of unauthorized construction. The concerned Authority is free to take action in accordance with law. 3. The Petition is disposed of in the above terms. CHIEF JUSTICE A.M. KHANWILKAR, J
