5. On the aforesaid ground the writ petition has been dismissed.
6.
Learned counsel for the appellant, however, draws our attention to the prayer clause of the writ petition, a perusal of which reveals that the appellant made two prayers in the writ petition, namely (1) quashing the show cause notice dated 10.07.2024 and order of demolition order dated 05.09.2024 and (2) issuing a direction to carry out the inspection of Flats/ Apartments in Adarsh Kunj Apartment, Sector 13, Rohini, Delhi-110085 and carry out uniform action against entire society.
7. So far as prayer (1) is concerned, we do not find any good ground to interfere in this intra-Court appeal to which learned counsel representing the appellant also agrees. However, he states that prayer (2) has not been adjudicated by the learned Single Judge.
8. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, without interfering with the order passed by the learned Single Judge which is under challenge herein, we permit the appellant to file a fresh petition for seeking remedy in respect of prayer (2) made in the underlying petition.
9. The appeal thus stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
