GANDHI HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.S. CHAUDHARI Mr. Virendra Agarwal, Advocate for the appellants. Mr. R.P. Singh, Addl. Advocate General for State. **** (ORAL): These are three appeals arising out of the similar situation and are being decided by this common order. The appellants have constructed their houses, after obtaining proper permission from the Competent Authority, in Survey No. 1467 of Village Chourasiyawas. According to the respondents, they have constructed their houses in Survey No. 1467 and this survey number does not fall within the catchment area of Annasagar Lake at Ajmer. The respondent- Authorised Officer under the Urban Improvement Trust (for short “the UIT”) has issued notices to the appellants for demolition of their [2] DBSAW 605/2009, 606/2009 & 607/2009 houses constructed in Survey No. 1468, which fall within the catchment area. It is also stated at the bar that the respondents want to demolish their house. The appellants sought time from the respondents that in case they do not succeed in proving that the houses have not been constructed in Khasra No. 1468, for which notices have been issued, they will demolish their houses on their own. In these circumstances, the appellants approached the Court by means of three writ petitions, individually, and at the time of consideration of the writ petitions, the Court granted interim order restraining the respondents from demolishing their houses. After hearing learned counsel for the respondents, the Court has vacated the stay order vide order dated 17.07.2009, which has been challenged by way of these appeals. We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. Dispute between the parties is whether the houses have been constructed in Khasra No. 1467 or 1468. As per the respondents, construction has been raised by the appellants after purchasing land bearing Survey No. 1468, whereas the claim of the appellants is that their construction is in Survey No. 1467. [3] DBSAW 605/2009, 606/2009 & 607/2009 Further dispute is as to whether both the Khasras fall within the catchment area or only one Khasra i.e. Khasra No. 1468, which has been mentioned in the notices, falls within the catchment area. These disputes can only be settled if the appellants file their reply to the notices. Learned counsel for the respondents agreed that unless they approach and file their reply, the dispute cannot be settled. They are agreeable for disposal of the appeals in the following terms; the writ petitioners will file reply to the notice dated 20.05.2009 within two weeks from today before the Authorised Officer, who shall hear the appellants, consider their reply and disposed it of within 10 days thereafter. Till then, status quo shall be maintained on spot. In terms of the aforesaid order, the learned counsel for the appellants prays for disposal of the writ petitions also. Accordingly, the Writ Petition Nos. 6965/2009, 6967/2009 and 6966/2009 filed by the appellants are disposed of. The appeals are, accordingly, disposed of. (K.S. CHAUDHARI),J. (R.C. GANDHI), J. /KKC/
