The State may remove illegal encroachments lawfully, but when vending zones exist the authorities must actively facilitate and supervise relocation: provide clear, acceptable vending zone information, assist regularisation where appropriate, undertake awareness drives to divert customers, and take steps to minimise disproportionate hardship to vendors; courts will require affidavits and supervisory compliance rather than permit summary eviction without support.

Where an interim order in a parent writ petition has been shown to be relied upon by authorities and to have direct and immediate civil consequences for a non‑party, that non‑party is a proper party and must be given an opportunity to be heard in those proceedings; the High Court’s refusal to implead the Appellant and to consider its request for clarification/modification was unsustainable, and overlapping but distinct proceedings (LPA No. 760 of 2026 and CR No. 2579 of 2026) need not be held in abeyance and can be heard independently while the Appellant is impleaded in the parent writ.

Although historical material indicated a water body had existed, there was insufficient evidence that it remained a functional pond at the relevant time; the park, after years of public use, provides substantial ecological and social benefits, demolition would cause immediate environmental harm and waste public funds, and the delay in instituting proceedings created an irreversible fait accompli; therefore the High Court's direction to restore the pond was inappropriate and the appeal was allowed with directions to preserve the park and explore alternative compensatory measures.

The High Court rightly exercised public interest jurisdiction in directing eviction and demolition of unauthorised construction; courts must adopt a strict approach and not allow regularisation of constructions put up in violation of statutory permissions, consistent with directions in Rajendra Kumar Barjatya (2024 INSC 990).

In the absence of any express legislative or regulatory pronouncement to the contrary, the specific retirement prescriptions contained in the Municipal Service Regulations, 1954 (which place Leading Fireman/Tandel in the "inferior service" with retirement at 60) are not displaced by the broader recruitment classification in the Pune Municipal Corporation (Recruitment & Classification of Services) Rules, 2014; accordingly, the reclassification to Class III does not validly reduce the retirement age to 58 and the High Court's conclusion to that effect was reversed.
