According to the petitioners, although the Corporation has classified the  said buildings as C-1 category (dangerous structure to be evacuated) as per its structural audit report, the structural auditor of the petitioners, on inspection of the buildings, gave report dated 30.7.2022 that they can be repaired and there is no need to demolish.

HELD that the report of the Corporation shall prevail, audit report of the petitioners was only in respect of ground floor, the rights of members are governed through the society and any independent rights qua the society are to be agitated before another forum and the petitioners being minority members (less than 10%) have no right to hold up redevelopment
