On 2.6.2025, the Panvel Municipal Corporation granted permission to the Petitioner to construct Cantilevered Foldable Awnings or any other temporary structure limited for extending protection during rainy season. The permission clearly stipulated that after 15th October, 2025, no extension shall be granted and whatever structure in form of the rainy shade is erected, would be required to be removed and the premises to be restored to its original position. The said permission is annexed at Exhibit “C” of the petition.

The learned Counsel for the Petitioner made a grievance about the same having been illegally removed and there are also several allegations made about the illegal gratification being demanded by the officers of the Corporation merely by annexing photographs alleging to be the proof of acceptance of illegal gratification by particular Officer. We are not convinced to accept that the illegal gratification is offered or even accepted. For this purpose, definitely the Petitioner's remedy lies somewhere else. As far as the another prayer of claim of compensation is concerned, the alleged high-handed action by the Respondents, this definitely requires sufficient proof to establish that a loss has been caused to the Petitioner, and in its absence, in exercise of the writ jurisdiction, definitely we cannot entertain such a claim of compensation of Rs.80 lakhs. 3. As far as this particular prayer is concerned, we are informed that the structure has already been demolished and if the Petitioner faces any difficulty in the years to come, the doors of this Court are open to him but that should be subject to examination of the permission that has been granted and the condition subject to which it is granted.
