The grievance of the petitioners is that despite the order dated 16th March, 2006 to demolish the unauthorised structures, the respondent No.1-Corporation of the City of Panaji has not taken any action for demolition of the unauthorised structures. The learned Counsel for respondent No.1 stated that in view of the injunction granted by the Civil Judge, Jr. Division, Panaji vide her order dated 22nd January, 2010, passed in Reg. Civil Suit No.31/2006, respondent No.1 could not demolish the unauthorised structures. When pointed out by the petitioners' Counsel that the injunction is in respect of only one structure and there was no injunction in respect of others, learned Counsel for the respondent No.1 states that all the structures, other than the structure in respect of which the injunction operates in Reg. Civil Suit No. 31/2006, would be demolished within a period of 4 weeks. The statement is recorded and accepted. 3. As regards Reg. Civil Suit No.31/2006, the learned 3 Counsel for the petitioners submits that the suit is collusive and is unnecessarily being delayed. We are informed at the Bar that Reg. Civil Suit No.31/2006 is ready for hearing, the issues have been framed and the suit is posted on 6th October, 2010 for hearing. We, direct the Civil Judge, Jr. Division, Panaji to expedite the hearing of the Reg. Civil Suit No.31/2006 and decide it expeditiously and in any event on or before 23rd December, 2010. 4. With these directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Rule is made absolute to the extent indicated above. There shall be no order as to costs. D.G. KARNIK, J. F.M. REIS, J. ssm.
