The petitioner refused to do so and approached this Court. This Court while admitting the writ petition on 23.1.2003 stayed the demolition for a period of four weeks. Subsequently, as the W.P.M.P. was not properly pursued, the same was dismissed on 30.7.2004. Be that as it is, there is no denial of the allegation that the respondent Municipality did not issue any notice. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of observing that unless and until due process of law is followed, the petitioner cannot be evicted and deprived of his right to enjoy the property. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) November 16, 2005. YS
