This order was passed under Section 33 of the Maharashtra Slum Area (Improvement, Clearance and Re-development) Act-1971. The order passed by the Respondent No.1 is challenged by the Petitioner by filing an appeal under Section 35 of the said Act before the Respondent No.2. The Petitioners also filed an application for stay to the order passed by Respondent No.1 and this application was rejected by an order dated 28/09/2007, which is impugned in present petition.

In that view of the matter, in my considered view instead of going into the merit of the matter, the petition can conveniently be disposed of by passing the following order:- O R D E R R D E R R D E R 1.
