of uploading order dated 26.12.2014 on the website. He, however,
confirms that order dated 26.12.2014 annexed as Annexure-A to the
petition has been passed by the Executive Engineer (Civil Lines Zone)
qua the subject property. He submits that the said order is still in
force.
6. Learned counsel, however, submits that though there is
unauthorized construction in the property, subject order has been
passed because of the moratorium granted by the National Capital
Territory of Delhi Laws (Special Provisions) Act, 2011. He submits
that in view of the moratorium, the unauthorized construction is not
actionable at this stage. The statement is taken on record.
