DISPOSED OFF

Holding

Since the SRA affirmed it would comply with the demolition order and the petitioner agreed to pay the required charges, the petition is disposed.

Summary

Shree Umiya Builders and Developers filed a writ petition seeking directions for demolition of structures bearing CTS Nos. 45 and 43 and the payment of requisite charges to the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA). The respondents, including the State of Maharashtra and the SRA, indicated they would comply with the earlier court order dated 20 December 2021 regarding demolition, and that police protection would be provided as requested. The petitioner’s counsel agreed to pay all necessary charges to the SRA by 24 August 2026. The court, noting the respondents’ willingness to act, disposed of the petition, granting liberty to apply in case of difficulty. The order effectively closes the petition without further orders.
