Their grievance is that the respondent-Municipality, without assigning any reason and without issuing any notice, is trying to demolish their houses. Hence, they filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for petitioners and learned Standing Counsel for respondent-Municipality. Learned Standing Counsel for respondent-Municipality, on instructions, submitted that the petitioners are now making further constructions in their respective flats without obtaining any permission from the respondent-Municipality and therefore the constructions being made by the petitioners are unauthorized and illegal. If that be the case, the petitioners may file appropriate applications before the respondent-Municipality seeking permission for making further constructions in their respective houses and after obtaining necessary permission only the petitioners can make further constructions. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. _______________ N.V. RAMANA, J Date: 20.01.2005 To 1 The Commissioner, L.B.
