It is needless to say that the respondents are bound to follow due process of law before carrying out demolition activity. In view of the same, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents not to carry out any demolition activity relating to the subject matter of the writ petition, unless and until they follow due process of law. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No order as to costs. June 30th, 2006. ---------------------------- I s L. P . S . NARAYANA , J
