Respondents Ms.Smita Gaidhani for the petitioners Mr.V.P .Malvankar, A.G.P. for respondent nos.1 to 3 CORAM : J. N. Patel & Smt. Mridula Bhatkar, JJ DATE : June 15, 2009 P.C. : 1. The petitioners have taken out this writ petition challenging the acquisition proceedings in respect of the land described in the petition under which the respondent Government has taken the possession of the said premises. 2. It is the contention of the petitioners that the respondents have issued a notification under section 10(1), 10(3) and 10(5) of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act. However, the petitioners .. tenants are in actual possession of the said premises. It is contended that no notice was given to the petitioners and the possession is also not taken. 2 3. The respondents have filed affidavit in reply in which they have challenged the locus standi of the petitioners. It is submitted by the respondents that the order under section 10(5) of the Act has already been passed and the possession of the said surplus land has already been taken much before the petitioner has filed the application. It shows that the petitioner who claims to be a tenant has no locus standi in respect of any claim under U.L.C. Act which stands repealed. Hence, we do not find any merit in this petition. The same is dismissed. ( J. N. Patel, J) (Smt.Mridula Bhatkar, J)
