(Per
\n: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. S.J. MUKHOPADHAYA)<\/p>\n
 ORDER
\nIN C.A. NO. 13650\/2010:\n<\/p>\n
\tThis
\npetition for leave to appeal has been preferred by seven applicants
\nfor assailing the judgment dated 27th August 2010 passed by the
\nlearned Single Judge in Special Civil Application No.1906 of 2009
\nwith Special Civil Application No.4620 of 2009.  Therein, the Court
\nhaving made certain observations and directions to decide the
\nrepresentation relating to removal of illegal construction, the
\npresent leave to appeal has been preferred on the ground that the
\napplicants, who are members of `Janata Nagar Cooperative Housing
\nSociety’, are affected, as the Surat Municipal Corporation has issued
\nnotice of demolition against them.  Learned counsel appearing on
\nbehalf of Luthra Public Trust opposed the prayer mainly on two
\ngrounds; (i) that no specific direction has been issued with regard
\nto the applicants and (ii) applicants being represented by their
\ncooperative society in the writ petition, no separate permission be
\ngranted to the individual members.\n<\/p>\n
\tHaving
\nheard learned counsel for the parties and other respondents, in the
\npresent case, as we find that ultimately Surat Municipal Corporation
\nhas taken steps for demolition of the building of the applicants, and
\nthey will be directly affected in view of the impugned order in
\nquestion, we allow the Civil Application and grant leave to appeal
\nagainst the impugned order dated 27th August 2010 passed by the
\nlearned Single Judge in Special Civil Application No. 1906 of 2009
\nwith Special Civil Application No.4620 of 2009.  Civil Application
\nNo.13650 of 2009 stands disposed of.\n<\/p>\n
 ORDER
\nIN C.A. NO. 4146\/2011:\n<\/p>\n
\tThis
\nCivil Application has been preferred by Dhanraj Laxmandas Nagpal and
\n22 others for impleading them as parties-appellants nos. 8 to 38 to
\nthe Letters Patent Appeal No. 362 of 2010, of which leave has been
\ngranted in favour of  Jyotiben Anilkumar Gajjar and 6 others of
\n`Janata Nagar Cooperative Housing Society’ in Civil Application No.
\n13650 of 2010.  Referring to the impugned judgment dated 27th August
\n2010 passed by the learned Single Judge in Special Civil Application
\nNo.1906 of 2009 with Special Civil Application No.4620 of 2009, it is
\nstated that they are
\nalso similarly situated, as Surat Municipal Corporation has also
\nissued notice for demolition of their building.  Having heard learned
\ncounsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that
\nDhanraj Laxmandas Nagpal and 22 others are also similarly situated
\nlike  Jyotiben Anilkumar Gajjar and 6 others, we allow this petition
\nand allow the applicants to be impleaded as appellants nos. 8 to 38
\nto the Letters Patent Appeal No. 362 of 2011.  Civil Application
\nstands disposed of.\n<\/p>\n
 ORDER
\nIN C.A. NO. 2475\/2011:\n<\/p>\n
\tThis
\npetition has been filed to condone delay of 29 days in preferring the
\nLetters Patent Appeal.  The main plea taken by the applicants is that
\nthey were not parties to the said case, and when they received
\nnotices from Surat Municipal Corporation they could come to know of
\nthe order of this Court and filed leave to appeal against the order
\ndated  27th August 2010 passed by the learned Single Judge in Special
\nCivil Application No.1906 of 2009 with Special Civil Application
\nNo.4620 of 2009.  Notices have been served on the respondents and
\nthey have appeared.\n<\/p>\n
\tHaving
\nheard learned counsel for the parties, and being satisfied with the
\ngrounds shown, delay of 29 days in preferring the Letters Patent
\nAppeal is condoned.  Civil Application No.2475 of 2010 stands
\ndisposed of.\n<\/p>\n
 ORDER
\nIN L.P.A. NO.362\/2011 & C.As. NOs. 4079 & 2476\/2011:\n<\/p>\n
\tThe
\nLetters Patent Appeal has been preferred by Jyotiben Anilkumar Gajjar
\nand 6 others against the common  order dated  27th August 2010 passed
\nby the learned Single Judge in Special Civil Application
\nNo.4620 of 2009 with Special Civil Application No.1906 of 2009.\n<\/p>\n
\tThe
\nappellants are members of Janata Nagar Cooperative Housing Society.
\nThe said Housing Society preferred the writ petition, Special Civil
\nApplication No. 1906 of 2009, alleging that certain illegal
\nconstructions were made by Luthra Public Trust.  The other writ
\npetition,  Special Civil Application No. 4620 of 2009, was filed by
\nLuthra Public Trust for direction on Surat Municipal Corporation to
\ndispose of their representations dated 21st November 2008 and 6th
\nJanuary 2009, whereby Luthra Public Trust has pointed out the illegal
\nconstruction made by the members of the Janata Nagar Cooperative
\nHousing Society.  When the matter was taken up on 27th August 2010,
\nLuthra Public Trust gave an undertaking that they will demolish the
\nillegal construction made by them.  The Court in paragraph No.6 of
\nthe impugned order dated 27th August 2010 directed Luthra Public
\nTrust to act as per their undertaking.\n<\/p>\n
\tSo
\nfar as the prayer of the other petitioners – Luthra Public Trust is
\nconcerned, learned Single Judge at paragraph no. 7 of the order made
\nthe following observations:\n<\/p>\n
“Now,
\nso far as the prayer of petitioner, Luthra Public Trust to take
\nappropriate steps on the representation dated 21.11.2008 and
\n06.01.2009 pointing illegal construction made by the members of the
\nsociety and to take steps to remove the same is concerned, respondent
\nCorporation is hereby directed to look into the said
\napplication\/representation dated 21.11.2008 and 06.01.2009 made by
\nthe petitioner Luthra Public Trust  and take appropriate steps in
\naccordance with law and on merits and after giving an opportunity to
\nthe respective members and after following due procedure, however,
\nthe same shall be done within a period of there months from today.
\nHowever, it is made clear that this Court has not expressed anything
\non merits with respect to the alleged illegal construction
\npointed out in representations dated 21.11.2008 and 06.01.2009 and it
\nis ultimately for the Corporation to take appropriate steps in
\naccordance with law and on merits and by this order, this Court has
\ndirected the Corporation to look into the same and if it is found
\nthat some illegal and unauthorized construction is made, to take
\nsteps in accordance with law and on merits after following due
\nprocedure of law within stipulated time as stated herein above.”\n<\/p>\n
\tBoth
\nthe writ petitions were disposed of with the aforesaid observations.\n<\/p>\n
\tAccording
\nto the appellants, they are aggrieved by the above observations of
\nthe learned Single Judge at paragraph no.7 of the judgment.  It is
\nstated that they were not heard, and giving reference of the Court
\norder, Surat Municipal Corporation has issued notices to all the
\nappellants, and on receipt of their replies, ordered to demolish
\nrespective premises of the appellants.  Learned counsel appearing on
\nbehalf of Luthra Public Trust would contend that Janata Nagar
\nCooperative Housing Society, of which the appellants are members, has
\nnot made any objection with regard to the observations made by the
\nlearned Single Judge.\n<\/p>\n
\tLearned
\ncounsel appearing on behalf of the Surat Municipal Corporation would
\ncontend that the Court has mainly directed to decide the
\nrepresentations preferred by Luthra Public Trust.  Pursuant to the
\nsaid representations, illegal construction having been noticed,
\nCorporation had issued individual notices to owners of such illegal
\nstructure, and has now decided to remove the illegal construction
\nafter giving them a further opportunity of hearing.\n<\/p>\n
\tWe
\nhave heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.
\nFrom the observations made by the learned Single Judge at paragraph
\nno.7 of the judgment, as quoted above, it will be evident that the
\nlearned Single Judge has not passed the impugned order against any
\nindividual.  The Court has directed the Corporation to look into the
\nrepresentations dated 21st November 2008 and 6th June 2009 preferred
\nby the petitioner-Luthra Public Trust, and to take appropriate steps
\nin accordance with law and on merit after giving an opportunity of
\nhearing to the respective members and following due procedure of law,
\nand a time frame has been given to complete the process.  In this
\nbackground, we are of the opinion that in absence of any specific
\ndirection against the appellants, at the instance of the appellants
\nno interference is called for against the impugned order  dated  27th
\nAugust 2010 passed by the learned Single Judge in Special Civil
\nApplication No.1906 of 2009 with Special Civil Application No.4620 of
\n2009.\n<\/p>\n
\tWe
\nhave noticed the stand taken by the learned counsel for the Surat
\nMunicipal Corporation.  He has stated that merely a notice has been
\nissued on the appellants, many of whom, have already filed their
\nreplies.  They will be given again hearing and only thereafter final
\ndecision will be taken.  In view of such stand taken by the
\nCorporation, we allow the appellants to file their replies, if not
\nyet filed, within one week.  They may enclose a copy of the building
\nplan approved by the competent authority and may show that their
\nconstruction is in accordance with law and not illegal.  The
\nCorporation, in its turn, on hearing the parties and taking into
\nconsideration the documents as may be placed by the individual
\nappellants, will consider (i) whether the construction
\nis in accordance with law and the sanctioned building plan and (ii)
\nif it is not in accordance with the sanctioned building plan, then to
\nwhat extent the illegal construction has been made, and only after
\nsuch determination, the Corporation will take appropriate steps for
\nremoval of such portion of construction, which will be found to be
\nillegal.  If the appellants fail to file their respective replies or
\nfailed to appear before the competent authority of the Corporation,
\nthe Corporation may proceed ex-parte.  Therefore, it is desirable
\nthat the appellants should file their reply within one week and
\nshould appear before the competent authority within ten days.\n<\/p>\n
\tSo
\nfar as the question of regularization of any construction is
\nconcerned, if there is any scheme of the State Government or
\nCorporation or any other competent authority, it will be open to such
\nappellant to request the competent authority to take steps for
\nregularization, instead of demolition.  But, in that case also, they
\nwill have to apply within fifteen days along with requisite fee, if
\nany, prescribed under the law, and the decision relating to illegal
\nconstruction be taken by 15th May 2011.  If any application is filed
\nfor regularization along with requisite fee, that process must be
\ncompleted by 15th June 2011.  Thereafter, if any illegal construction
\nis noticed, it will be open to Surat Municipal Corporation to
\ndemolish the same, preferably by 15th July 2011.  The Letters Patent
\nAppeal stands disposed of with the aforesaid observations and
\ndirections.  No costs.  Direct service is permitted.\n<\/p>\n
\tIn
\nview of the order passed in the Letters Patent Appeal, no further
\norder is required to be passed in Civil Applications Nos. 2476 and
\n4079 of 2011
\nand the same stands disposed of.\n<\/p>\n
