The petitioner has now been served with Ext.P4 notice dated 4.10.2010, whereby the petitioner has been directed to vacate the property within 7 days. According to the petitioner, the petitioner has wife and two daughters aged 16 and 14 and therefore, the petitioner would require some time to vacate the property and handover vacant possession. According to the petitioner, if sufficient time is granted, the petitioner would surrender vacant possession of the land. I have heard the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the National Highway Authority of India also. I am of opinion that the petitioner would require some time to vacate the residential property.
