¶35

Respondent - Municipal Council has issued proclamation and the notice directing to remove the construction to be affected in the widening of Balbhim chowk to Bindusara River road in the development plan. According to the learned counsel for the Petitioners, without taking up acquisition proceedings the same could not have been done. Mr. Thombre, the learned counsel for the Municipal Council submits that, public work is undertaken and except the Petitioners all other Persons have removed the construction which was being affected by the road widening. Because of the present petition being filed the work of road could not commence further. The learned counsel submits that, the Municipal Council has filed an undertaking to this court stating that, if, the Petitioners co-operate and remove the area affected by the road widening and remove the construction or allow the Respondent to remove the construction then, within 4 months the compensation amount as per the valuation of the property would be paid to the Petitioners.

¶36

The learned counsel for the respective Petitioners submits that, the valuation of the construction is already communicated by the P. W. D. to the Municipal Council, the Respondent should pay the amount of compensation as per the said valuation and on payment of the same within 7 days they would remove the construction and the said compensation would be without prejudice to the further rights of the Petitioners to claim enhanced compensation.
