Mr. Arvind Sah, Advocate appearing on advance notice on behalf of respondent no.3, submits that the present writ petition is not maintainable as the petitioner stays far away from the subject property.

He further submits on instructions that respondent no.3 has not broken the seal and the only construction being carried out is of construction of a mumty. He further submits that there is unauthorised construction in the property of the petitioner as well and demolition order in respect thereof has already been passed. 6. Accordingly, present writ petition is disposed of while directing respondent-MCD to inspect the subject property of the respondent no.3 as well as the property of the petitioner. In the event, any unauthorised construction or tampering of the seal is found, appropriate action in accordance with law shall be taken. 7. All rights, contentions and legal remedies of the parties are kept open. 8. The pending application stands disposed of. AMIT BANSAL, J JULY 13, 2026/ds This is a digitally signed order.
