3. We do not know how the property can be demolished without some form of acquisition and compensation given that the Petitioners are the owners. There is no question of deciding "eligibility" if the Petitioners or the Petitioners' own family members are occupying the structure in question.
4. The MMRDA and the Collector will forthwith cease all demolition or eviction work until the next date. The Petitioner will give fresh notice. The matter will be listed on Monday, 17th April 2023. Until then neither MMRDA nor the Collector will take any action.
5. The Collector and MMRDA will act on production of an authenticated copy of this order and will not insist on a certified copy.
