Mr.S.M.Gorwadkar, for Respondent no.2. Mr.S.R.Nargolkar, AGP for Respondent no.1. CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH & A.R.JOSHI, JJ. DATED: 27th January,2010. P.C.:- 1. Rule returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of parties. Admittedly, the petitioner has given application for permission to erect a telecommunication tower and that application is pending before the Respondent-Corporation. The application of the petitioner is still pending with the Corporation, but the Corporation has sealed a part 2 of the tower and has demolished the rest. In our opinion, keeping the application pending, the Corporation was not justified in demolishing and sealing the tower. In our opinion, therefore, the following order would meet the ends of justice:- (i) Within a period of one week from today, the petitioner shall supply to the Corporation details of the applications made by it to the Corporation for erection of various towers and shall make any additional submission that the petitioner may like to make in support of its applications for permission to erect the towers. (ii) The Corporation shall decide that application in accordance with law, after considering the material submitted by the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible in any case within a period of four weeks from the date on which the petitioner will submit the representation referred to above. (iii) In case, according to the Corporation 3 there are any discrepancies in the applications submitted by the petitioner, those discrepancies shall be pointed out by the Corporation to the petitioner within a period of one week from the petitioner submitting the Representation referred to above and one week shall be granted to the petitioner to remove those discrepancies, and orders on the applications shall be made only thereafter. The Corporation shall remove the seal which is put by the Corporation on the tower of the petitioner and till the applications/representations are decided, the Corporation will not take any decision to demolish the remaining towers. (iv) The prayer made in the petition challenging the Rule is not pressed at this juncture. Rule is made absolute accordingly. No order as to costs. (D.K.DESHMUKH, J.) (A.R.JOSHI, J.)
