By consent, we have taken the petition for final hearing at the admission stage as the petition can be disposed of at the admission stage. The case of the petitioners is that they have purchased land bearing CTS No.652 (Part) [-2-] admeasuring 5651 sq.yards situated at village Borla, Taluka Kurla. The said land is declared as slum improvement area in the year 1976. It is the case of the petitioners that the petitioners have approached various authorities for permission to develop the said land. In the meantime, the petitioners came to know about the acquisition proceedings pending before the respondent no.1-Deputy Collector (Encroachment). The case of the petitioners is that no notice was received by them in relation to the said acquisition. However, it is seen that the petitioners have been heard in the said matter and the hearing has been concluded. The matter is now kept for orders. Looking to the fact that the matter has been kept for orders, we are of the opinion that this petition is premature, hence, we are not inclined to entertain the same. Petition is dismissed.
