W.P.(C)No.30970 OF 2004 ........................................................... DATED THIS THE 24TH SEPTEMBER, 2007 J U D G M E N T The order of stay presently passed will continue for two months from today. However, since it is seen that the impugned order is an order under Section 406(3) directing demolition of a construction put up by the petitioner, I dispose of the Writ Petition relegating the petitioner to statutory appellate remedies. If the Tribunal receives an appeal within one month from today, the Tribunal will entertain the appeal excluding the time during which this Writ Petition was pending before this Court from the reckoning for the purpose of limitation and dispose of the appeal in accordance with law.
