-1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.570 OF 2008 Gopal Rai K. Sharma ... Petitioner versus The Municipal Corporation of Gr. Mumbai and others ...Respondents Mr. Akhilesh Singh for the petitioner. Mrs. Archana Joshi for respondent Nos. 1 to 3. CORAM: P.B. MAJMUDAR & A.A. SAYED, JJ. DATE: SEPTEMBER 01, 2008. P.C. It is not in dispute that the alleged unauthorised construction has been made on a private land which allegedly belongs to the petitioner. It is surprising, inspite of that, the Officers of the Corporation in their communication have shown willingness to remove the said unauthorised construction. The Corporation is strictly directed that if there is an encroachment on the private land of any persons, then such persons have to proceed according to law to remove such unauthorised construction on their own and they cannot with the help of Officers of the Corporation remove such encroachments. -2- 2. It is an admitted fact that in the present case, the encroachment is not on a public road or public street or public property but it is entirely on the private land which allegedly belongs to the petitioner. The remedy available to the petitioner is to take appropriate steps by way of proceeding before the appropriate forum. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner may be permitted to take out appropriate proceedings either before Civil Court or any other forum available to him in accordance with law. Subject to the aforesaid liberty, the petition is dismissed. P. B. MAJMUDAR, J. A.A. SAYED, J.
