Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. Learned counsel for the corporation at the ouset invited my attention to the policy of the corporation dated 8.8.2005 for grant of permission for regularisation of loft/mezzanine floor constructed prior to 15.8.1997 in existing authorised buildings by the Ward Officer. He submitted that it is open to the appellants to apply for grant of permission for regularisation of the mezzanine floor. Having confronted with this Mr.Anil Singh, learned counsel for the appellant prays for withdrawal of this appeal with liberty to the appellants to make proposal through their architect for seeking regularisation of the mezzanine floor in dispute, which, according to the appellant, was constructed prior to 15.8.1997.

(b) Liberty to the appellant to apply for grant of permission for regularisation of the mezzanine floor in dispute through their architect to the Assistant Commissioner, A/Ward within a period of eight weeks from today. If the proposal as aforementioned is made by the appellant, the concerned officer may consider the same in light of the policy dated 8.8.2005 as expeditiously as possible and preferrably within a period of eight weeks therefrom. Till then the corporation shall not take coercive action in respect of the mezzanine floor in dispute. (c) It is needless to mention that the concerned officer shall communicate his decision to the appellant within a period of two weeks from the date of the decision. If the decision is adverse to the appellant, the corporation shall not demolish the mezzanine floor for a period of two weeks from the date of communication of the order. With these observations the appeal is disposed of. Consequently, the civil application is also disposed of. (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
