It is brought to the notice of this Court that on 20th October, 2010, the learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the Municipal Council, Ramtek made a statement that the Council shall remove encroachments from the base of the hill where the Gadmandir (temple) is situated up to the top. In view of the above statement made by the learned counsel for the Council on 20th October 2010, this Court vide order dated 20th October 2010 directed the Council to remove the encroachment within a period of six weeks from the date of said order 2 as well as to remove unauthroised structure within a period of 12 weeks from the date of said order. Learned Advocate for the Council states that so far as the encroachment is concerned it has already been removed, however, the unauthorized structure could not be removed within the stipulated period of 12 weeks and seeks further time. Learned counsel assures this Court that the unauthorized structure shall be removed within a period of 12 weeks from today and no further time shall be asked for this purpose. Learned counsel has submitted that for extension of time C.A. No.21/2011 is also filed by the Municipal Council. On the backdrop of the above -referred facts, it appears that the encroachment has already been removed by the Municipal Council. However, it is necessary for the Municipal council to remove the unauthorised structure within the further period of 12 weeks from today, this is by way of last chance given to the Municipal Council, Ramtek to remove the unauthorized structure and report a compliance to this Court. With these observations and direction, Application is disposed of. Steno copy be given to the parties. JUDGE JUDGE sahare
