In this regard, a provisional order and a confirmatory order have been passed. Challenging the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal No.315/2024, which has also been dismissed. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. 2. This Court, on 25.02.2026 passed the following order: "1. Smt. Sinchana M.R., learned counsel accepts notice for respondent Nos.1 to 3. 2. The respondents directed to file a fresh report taking into consideration the Regulations dated 05.01.2026, considering that the property is around 600 square feet, which comes under the said Regulations. 3. Until next date, the respondents are restrained from taking any coercive steps against the petitioner for demolition or otherwise. 4. Re-list on 07.04.2026." 3.
