He further referring to the representation made to various authorities including Tehsildar and Commissioner, Municipal Corporation submits that though the petitioner has apprised the said fact to the Revenue authorities and Municipal Corporation but still no action has been taken on the complaint/ representation of the petitioner and respondent No. 9 is proceeding with the illegal encroachment over the government land. 3.
