days‟ time was given to remedy the breach before exercising re-entry powers. On 4th April, 2012, a letter was received on behalf of the owners that they are willing to pay the charges as per law for mutation, substitution/conversion. On 10th January, 2013, a demand letter was raised for a sum of Rs.99,26,280/- as damages charged for unauthorised construction for the period from 4th December, 1976 till 14th July, 2012 as also mis-user charges from the period from 4th December, 1976 to 13th July, 2010, along with the revised ground rent. The amount, which was paid by the owners, was credited to their account, and the outstanding payable was claimed as Rs.99,26,280/-. The owners then submitted on 5th July, 2013 a plan along with the valuer‟s report. This plan, according to the owners, was the only plan that existed with them as the property was constructed prior to 1952. On 7th February, 2013, a representation was given by the Plaintiffs that there is no unauthorised construction on the plot. According to the Plaintiffs, there was no unauthorised construction on the site as the building has been in existence strictly as per the guidelines and within the framework of the building bye-laws. The Plaintiffs, thus, disputed the demands raised by L&DO (Ex.PW-5/2).
