1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1376 OF 2009 Kathirvel Elayappanandi ...Petitioners. v. Municipal Corporation of Gr. Bombay ...Respondents. Mr.P.J.Thorat, adv. For the Petitioners. Ms.S.A.Module, adv. For the Respondents. CORAM : F.I.REBELLO & J.H. BHATIA, JJ. DATED : 20th January , 2010. P.C. 1 It is the case of the petitioner that in respect of the structure standing on survey no.39(Part), he was occupant thereof and that has been demolished by the respondents. The case of the respondents is that they have demolished the structure standing on survey no.36. 2 Reliefs prayed by the petitioner in the present petition is to quash the notice dated 15th September, 2008 issued under Section 55 of the M.R.T.P. Act. In so far as this relief is concerned, it will not be possible for this Court to grant any relief as the structure is already demolished. If the petitioner is entitled to claim relief by way of damages and/or any benefits under the provisions of the Maharashtra 2 Slum Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Re-development) Act, 1971, they may pursue the same independently. 3 Relief is also sought by the petitioner to permit re- construction. We are clearly of the opinion that no such relief can be granted by this Court. Once the construction is demolished unless a party takes an approval under the laws in force, no construction can be put up. In these circumstances, this Court cannot grant any relief. This Court also cannot act as the licensing authority. In these circumstances, such relief can not be granted. 4 Petition stands rejected. (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (F.I.REBELLO, J.)
