Therefore, they should be allowed to<br \/>\nfurnish their independent undertaking before the Commissioner,<br \/>\nAhmedabad Municipal Corporation. After enactment of the proposed<br \/>\nRegularisation Act, 2011 they will apply in accordance with the<br \/>\nprovisions of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tMr.S.N.Shelat,<br \/>\nlearned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the Corporation<br \/>\nsubmitted that this Court may pass an order, inter alia, for<br \/>\nsuspension of sealing of the units, suspension of demolition of<br \/>\nunauthorized construction undertaken by the Municipal Corporation and<br \/>\nfor a further direction to open seal.

Copy of the Resolution is annexed hereto and<br \/>\n\tmarked Annexure-1.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\tsay that the Gujarat Legislative Assembly has passed the Gujarat<br \/>\n\tRegularization of Unauthorized Development Bill, 2011 on 28.03.2011<br \/>\n\tand the Bill is awaiting the assent of the Governor. I say that if<br \/>\n\tGujarat Regularization of Unauthorized Development Bill, 2011 is<br \/>\n\tenacted as an Act, my aforesaid premises, even if considered<br \/>\n\tunauthorized, is liable to be regularised under such Act. I hereby<br \/>\n\tundertake to Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation that on such Act coming<br \/>\n\tinto force, I shall make an application for regularisation thereof,<br \/>\n\twithin six months from the Act coming into force or within the time<br \/>\n\tstipulated thereunder, whichever is earlier. I further undertake to<br \/>\n\ttake all rectification measures as stipulated under such Act and<br \/>\n\talso to pay such fees as stipulated under such Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\tsay that my premises are situated in ___________ Association and<br \/>\n\t____________ Association and it shall be my endeavour that the<br \/>\n\tapplication is made by all the members of both the Associations,<br \/>\n\tfailing which I shall make application individually or jointly with<br \/>\n\tother similarly situated persons with a request that the same be<br \/>\n\tconsidered under the provisions of the of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\tfurther undertake that if under the provisions of such Act I am not<br \/>\n\tentitled to apply or that the application made by me is rejected,<br \/>\n\tthe Corporation would be entitled to again put seals on the property<br \/>\n\tand take such further action as they would be entitled under the<br \/>\n\tlaw.\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tthe event such proposed Act does not come into force, within 3<br \/>\n\tmonths hereof, I undertake to abide by the present law.\n<\/p>\n<p>This<br \/>\nundertaking is without prejudice to my rights and contentions<br \/>\notherwise available to me in law as effective today and in respect of<br \/>\nthe proposed Act.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWe<br \/>\nhave heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIt<br \/>\nwill be evident that this Court, having noticed illegal construction<br \/>\nor use of one or other building in the town of Ahmedabad, passed<br \/>\ndifferent orders in the cases of Consumer Protection Council vs.<br \/>\nAhmedabad Municipal Corporation, reported in 2000(3) GLR 2607,<br \/>\nof Sharda Sahakari Gruh Mandali Limited and others v\/s. Ahmedabad<br \/>\nMunicipal Corporation and others, reported in 2006(2) GLR<br \/>\n1765, and of Suo Motu proceedings v\/s. Ahmedabad Municipal<br \/>\nCorporation and others (S.C.A. No.13308\/2004), reported in<br \/>\n2006(2) GLR 1129. In spite of such directions given by the<br \/>\nCourt in all these cases, no steps were taken by the Ahmedabad<br \/>\nMunicipal Corporation and, therefore, the matter calls for serious<br \/>\npublic concern.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIn<br \/>\nview of the first order passed by this Court in the case of Consumer<br \/>\nProtection Council (supra), the Legislature originally enacted an Act<br \/>\nknown as &#8220;The Gujarat Regularisation of Unauthorised<br \/>\nDevelopments Act, 2001&#8221;. In spite of such Regularisation Act,<br \/>\nno application was made. It appears that most of the persons did not<br \/>\nchoose to file any application for regularisation of their building.<br \/>\nTaking into consideration the aforesaid fact, this Court intended to<br \/>\ninitiate contempt proceedings in the pending writ petition in<br \/>\nquestion &#8211; Special Civil Application No.10488\/2008.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhen<br \/>\nthe Corporation noticed as to why a proceeding for contempt be not<br \/>\ninitiated, the Corporation hurriedly sealed  a large number of shop<br \/>\npremises on C.G.Road and some other roads but many of the building<br \/>\npremises alleged to have not been sealed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tInitially,<br \/>\nC.G.Road Shop Owners&#8217; Association and Jewellers&#8217; Association asked<br \/>\nfor some time to take correctional measures. Time was allowed and<br \/>\ninterim order of stay was passed. However, the individual shop owners<br \/>\nor builders, having failed to take correctional measures by making<br \/>\nthe provision for parking space or other facilities, the interim<br \/>\norder of stay was rejected. Thereafter, the Corporation sealed many<br \/>\nof the shop premises.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIt<br \/>\nhas been brought to our notice that in some of the cases, in view of<br \/>\nthe interim order of stay, the premises have not been sealed. In some<br \/>\nother cases, in absence of any interim order or because of rejection<br \/>\nof petition for interim relief, some of the premises have been<br \/>\nsealed. There are other cases i.e. some other buildings in the town<br \/>\nof Ahmedabad where the Corporation has not sealed the premises.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tThe<br \/>\nquestion arises, whether at this stage the Corporation should be<br \/>\ndirected to open the seal and allow the occupiers to run their<br \/>\nbusiness or utilize their respective premises before the proposed<br \/>\nRegularisation Act, 2011 is enacted.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIt<br \/>\nhas been brought to our notice that because of sealing, a large<br \/>\nnumber of workmen working in different shops are rendered jobless,<br \/>\nmay be, temporarily. Further, we find that the Legislature also<br \/>\nintended to regularise the premises including the use of such<br \/>\npremises and may allow one or other occupier of building or part of<br \/>\nthe building to change the premises from residential to commercial.<br \/>\nThe Corporation has also agreed that they may stop further sealing or<br \/>\nreopen the sealing already made, on receipt of undertaking of<br \/>\nparticular nature if given by the owner of the premises or part of<br \/>\nthe premises.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIn<br \/>\nthe facts and circumstances of the case, we direct the Corporation<br \/>\nnot to make further sealing and where sealing has already been made,<br \/>\nto reopen such sealing for the present, if individual owner of the<br \/>\nbuilding or premises or part of the premises files an undertaking<br \/>\nbefore the Commissioner, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and states<br \/>\nas follows:\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\toccupiers will file application for regularisation of the building<br \/>\n\talong with requisite fee, as may be prescribed under the proposed<br \/>\n\tRegularisation Act, 2011, within the time as may be prescribed under<br \/>\n\tthe Act. If no such time is prescribed under the Act, then they will<br \/>\n\tapply within six months from the date of enactment of the proposed<br \/>\n\tRegularisation Act, 2011.\n<\/p>\n<p>They<br \/>\n\twill take all rectification measures as per the provisions of the<br \/>\n\tproposed Regularisation Act, 2011, and only on satisfaction of the<br \/>\n\tCorporation, they will continue with the occupation of the premises,<br \/>\n\tas per the existing Building Use Permission.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\toccupiers of the premises will specifically give an undertaking that<br \/>\n\tthey will obtain Building Use Permission for the entire building or<br \/>\n\tpart of the building, if it is permitted under the proposed<br \/>\n\tRegularisation Act, 2011.\n<\/p>\n<p>FSI<br \/>\n\twill be considered on the basis of the area occupied by the entire<br \/>\n\tbuilding.\n<\/p>\n<p>Parking<br \/>\n\tspace will be determined on the basis of the area of the building<br \/>\n\tand the nature of use of such building i.e. residential or<br \/>\n\tcommercial or both residential and commercial; and<\/p>\n<p>If<br \/>\n\tthe Act is not enacted within three months i.e. by 15th<br \/>\n\tAugust 2011, it will be open to the Corporation to seal\/re-seal the<br \/>\n\tpremises.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tHowever,<br \/>\nif one or other occupier is entitled for regularisation as per the<br \/>\nRegularisation Act, 2001, in such case, if the proposed<br \/>\nRegularisation Act, 2011 is not enacted, he will give undertaking<br \/>\nthat he will take measures for regularisation as per Regularisation<br \/>\nAct, 2001, by 15th September 2011.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIf<br \/>\nsuch undertaking is given by one or other occupier of the<br \/>\nbuilding\/premises or part of the premises or by co-sharers of such<br \/>\nbuilding, jointly or separately, the Corporation will not seal the<br \/>\npremises or part of the premises, as the case may be, till 15th<br \/>\nAugust 2011 or till the time as may be stipulated under the proposed<br \/>\nRegularisation Act, 2011 to make application, if the Act is enacted,<br \/>\nwhichever is later.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhere<br \/>\npremises or part of the premises has already been sealed, on receipt<br \/>\nof such undertaking the premises or part of the premises be re-opened<br \/>\nand allow the occupier to use the premises as he was using earlier,<br \/>\ntill 15th August 2011 or till the time as may be<br \/>\nstipulated under the proposed Regularisation Act, 2011 to make<br \/>\napplication, if the Act is enacted, whichever is later.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tThis<br \/>\norder will be applicable not only to those who have moved before this<br \/>\nCourt or party to one or other case, but to all those who may claim<br \/>\nbenefit of the proposed Regularisation Act, 2011, of which, &#8220;The<br \/>\nGujarat Regularisation of Unauthorised Development Bill, 2011&#8221;<br \/>\nhas already been passed by the Legislature and forwarded to Her<br \/>\nExcellency, the Governor of Gujarat, for assent.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tPost<br \/>\nthe matter on 4th July 2011.
