THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N S SANJAY GOWDA ORAL ORDER 1. The petitioner is aggrieved by an order of demolition passed on 06.01.2025 on the ground that as against the order of confirmation that has been passed against the petitioner, the petitioner has preferred an appeal in Appeal No.283/2024 before the Chief Commissioner, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike ('the BBMP') and in the said appeal an interim order - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC:4042 WP No. 1921 of 2025 of status quo has been granted and nevertheless, an order of demolition has been passed. 2. In the light of the fact that an appeal has been filed against an order of confirmation and the Appellate Authority has also granted an interim order of status quo, it is obvious that the order of demolition passed on 06.01.2025 as per Annexure-A cannot be acted upon until the appeal is disposed of. 3. It is, therefore, ordered that Annexure-A shall not be given effect to until the disposal of Appeal No.283/2024, Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. 4. In view of the disposal of the petition, all pending interlocutory applications, if any, stand disposed of. Sd/- (N S SANJAY GOWDA) JUDGE HNM List No.: 1 Sl No.: 28
