& 3 were asked to submit a status report regarding the year of completion of construction and commencement of industrial activities by the petitioners. Thereafter, status-reports were submitted from time to time. On 3^rd September, 2015, this Court directed the Estate Officer, GMADA, to obtain site inspection report and apprise the Court.

¶21

[3] In compliance to the order dated 03.09.2015, Ms.Rajdeep Kaur, Estate Officer, GMADA, has filed the statusreport which is taken on record. As per the said report, unauthorized constructions comprising two small rooms measuring 7'.6” x 6'.00” and 9.'00” x 8'.3” are still existing at the site.

¶22

[4] Learned counsel for the petitioners states that these rooms have been constructed by the Electricity Department for installation of Transformers. He, however, undertakes that after informing and/or with prior permission of the Electricity authorities, both rooms shall also be demolished and an affidavit to this effect alongwith photographs shall be submitted to the Estate Officer, GMADA, who may then verify the facts, if need be. We direct the Electricity Department to do the needful as soon as the petitioners would approach them.

¶23

[5] On removal of the alleged unauthorized construction consisting two rooms, there remains no legal impediment against restoration of the site in favour of the petitioners. We thus allow this writ petition conditionally to the extent that no sooner the above-stated two rooms are demolished, the subject site shall be restored to the petitioners who shall then be required to complete the construction in accordance with the sanctioned site-plans,
