find that pursuant to the show-cause notices, final orders have been passed determining violation of the Development Control norms calling upon the noticees to themselves demolish the unauthorized structures failing which the obligation of the authority to demolish the same has been indicated in the notices.
3] We see no reason why the 4th Respondent who has issued the show-cause notices as also the 5th Respondent who has passed the final orders be not directed to ensure compliance with the final orders passed by them which have been annexed as annexures to the Petition.
4] The Petition is disposed of directing the Petitioners to serve a copy of the Petition with the annexures and the present order in the office of the 4th and 5th Respondents who shall comply with the mandamus issued by this Court within six months from date of receipt of the order, the Petition and the annexures therewith.
