We accept the said statement made by the Municipal Commissioner.

We, therefore, expect that every endeavour would be made to handover possession prior to the said period of six months. In view of the said statement made in the Affidavit-in-reply, nothing survives for consideration in the above Writ Petition which accordingly stands disposed of. ( R.M.SAVANT, J.) ( S.B.MHASE, J. )
