It appears that petitioner has filed this petition on behalf of himself and 80 other slum dwellers. 3. The directions are sought in the light of demolition of some of the huts in November 1998.

At the stage of admission of this petition this Court had recorded a statement of respondents that structures have been demolished. The petition was admitted to consider the request of alternate accommodation. 5. None appears for petitioners.
