my humble writ petition, amended to duly pray for
quashing of notifications enabling metroPD, was listed
today (05.07.06) before Justice SR Bhatt.
Gopal, my learned counsel, and I were spectators to
the proceedings. Counsel for DDA politely mentioned
our amending application and notice (of April) therein
and requested some more time to file reply. Lordship
began to dictate 2-weeks for counters, 2 weeks for
rejoinder. Counsel for DMRC half-heartedly brought up
again the stay on their 15 Ha amusement on my
riverbed. Lordship declined to tamper. I felt esp good
as spokeskid for dmrc, which never had lease or
license for the amusement, had called appu ghar
encroacher as its lease has allegedly expired:

Gopal, fully prepared for the umpteenth time to argue,
requested that the matter be listed for final
disposal. Lordship said something to the effect of
next-time. We are listed for 13 sep.
I was hugely relieved I was not given
post-notification hearing opportunity relief not
prayed for, as in the Tehkhand mess. (my application
dt 25.06.06 about that came up for hearing yesterday
and was withdrawn with leave to file substantive fresh
petition. I have not been able to confirm but hope
that the application served its purpose of preventing
Authority decision to confirm the bid at the meeting
on 28.06.06).
