(2.) MR . A. K.

He further submitted that in any event, post facto sanction could have been granted for continuing with the said shop as it was constructed prior to 1974. On the other hand Mr. A. K. Singh, learned Counsel appearing for the R.R.D.A. supported the impugned orders and submitted that the construction in question is admittedly an asbestos roof shop in front set back area of the building on the main door. He further submitted that after hearing the parties and considering their respective cases and the documents produced by them, a finding of fact has been recorded that Petitioner could not prove that the construction in question was made prior to 1974, and therefore, there in no question of grant of post facto sanction. Moreover, such sanction is granted to the land owner and not the tenant. He orally submitted that such construction is causing obstruction in the free flow of the traffic which can be seen by anybody.
(3.) MR . Rajiv Ranjan, learned Counsel appearing for Respondent No. 2 adopting the submissions of Mr. Singh further submitted that initially the Petitioner was claiming himself to be the landlord, but the authorities after considering the documents filed before the rent controller rightly held that he is a tenant in the shop in question. He further submitted that the impugned orders are applicable not only to the Petitioner, but also to Respondent No. 2.;
