trying to take possession (illegal) of the suit property but without following due process of law.

¶16

Learned counsel for the Applicant submitted that the Applicant is occupying and enjoying the aforesaid property on lease basis ( Vacant Land Tenancy) granted by the Respondents. By notice dated 13^th October 2020, and 4^th November 2020, the Respondents allegedly cancelled the lease. Therefore, the Petitioner filed a Writ Petition (L) No.351 of 2022. In the said Writ Petition learned counsel for the Respondents agreed that only based on the termination notices, the BMC can not straight away proceed to evict the Petitioner. For this, the BMC will have to adopt and comply with the procedure prescribed in Chapter V-A, including in particular, Section 105-B of the MMC Act.

¶17

The learned counsel for the Appellant submits that, however, the Respondents are intending to proceed against the aforesaid property without following due process of law. Therefore, this is a fit case for grant of ad-interim relief in terms of prayer clause (a).

¶18

In this context, it is significant to note that in the said suit Appellant has not challenged the aforesaid notices thereby cancelling the lease, claiming that said notices are illegal and it be declared so. The impugned Order indicates that the Appellant has sub let the lease property, by doing construction thereon. Therefore, and for other reasons noted in the impugned order, at this stage ad-interim relief is not possible, till the filling of brief reply by the Respondents.
