The grievance of the petitioners is that even while applications are pending, the respondent is taking steps to demolish the said constructions. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing counsel for the respondent. The Scheme framed by the Government through G.O.Ms.No.901 dated 31.12.2008 itself mandates that whenever an application filed under it is pending consideration, the local authority concerned shall not resort to demolish the premises. If the premises are demolished, nothing remains for consideration. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the respondent shall not demolish the constructions made by the petitioners as regards which applications for regularization are pending. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 5th November 2009 Note: CC tomorrow B/O RRB
