the appellant has received notice dated 22.12.2023 from the respondent-corporation u/s 351 of the MMC Act, 1988 (for short,'the Act'). The appellant replied the notice but the corporation did not consider it, nor the documents placed on record, in its proper perspective. On 02.02.2024, the corporation issued an order of demolition. The learned trial court, however, refused ad-interim relief without taking into consideration all these aspects.

¶16

Ms Smita V. Tondwalkar, the learned Counsel for the MMC, supports the line of reasoning adopted by the learned trial Court. She submits that the trial court has considered all the relevant aspects and passed the appropriate order.

¶17

The present appeal is filed challenging order dated 27.02.2024, refusing ad-interim relief to the appellant/plaintiff in Notice of Motion No.1102/2024 in LC Suit No.690/2024. Considering the nature of dispute, involved in the present appeal, instead of determining correctness of the order, it would be appropriate to request the learned trial Court to consider and decide the said notice of motion. As such, the learned trial Court is requested to expedite the hearing of the notice of motion and decide it preferably within four weeks from receipt of copy of this
