1 WP NO.849/11 lgc IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.849 OF 2011 Seth Motisha Religious and Charitable Trust and ors. : Petitioners. Versus The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai and ors. : Respondents. Mr.Vivek Kantawala i/by Vivek Kantawala & Co. for the Petitioners. Mr.Milind More AGP for Respondent No.4. CORAM : P B MAJMUDAR & R M SAVANT, JJ. DATE : 14th September 2011 P.C. 1 The learned counsel appearing for the Petitioners Shri Kantawala states that the Corporation has already issued notices under Section 354 of the Corporation Act as the building in question is in a dilapidated condition and some part of the building has collapsed. If the Corporation has issued notices to the Petitioners under Section 354 of the Corporation Act, the Corporation may take appropriate steps in that behalf in accordance with law and may expedite the adjudication of the said notice at the earliest and in any case within a period of two months from date. 2 It is the grievance of the Petitioners that though the Petitioners have been served with the notices under Section 354, the Petitioners are unable to take action for demolition of the building in question in view of the 2 WP NO.849/11 non-cooperative attitude of the tenants and, without the assistance of police, it is not possible for the Petitioners to take appropriate action. The Corporation may look into this problem. If the Petitioners are not in a position to take appropriate action pursuant to the said notices then, it is for the Corporation to take appropriate action in accordance with law. It is made clear that the Corporation may take every precaution in taking the action for demolition of the building in question as the building is in a dilapidated condition. 3 Subject to what is stated above, the Petition is disposed of.
