In support of the submission, reliance has been placed on the report of S.D.M. dated 28.05.2025 to the District Magistrate, Bhadohi. In the said report, there is reference to a letter dated 14.05.2025 written to the Bhadohi Industrial Development Authority (BIDA) for taking necessary action in the matter. 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of Bhadohi Industrial Development Authority (respondent No. 4) has placed on record the written instructions received from the Authority. According to it, notice was issued to respondent No. 5 on 07.05.2025 under Sections 9 & 10 of U.P. Industrial Area Development Act, 1976. On 08.05.2025, notice was issued to respondent No. 5 to stop the construction activity and demolish the boundary wall. On 10.07.2025, respondent No. 5 is stated to have submitted an application for sanction of a building plan. On 25.07.2025, objections have been made to the building plan by BIDA. The objections have yet not been removed.

It is further stated that further action in the matter is being undertaken. 4. In view of the aforesaid stand of respondent No. 4, we are of the opinion that no further direction is required to be issued at this stage except for the observation that the proceedings which have already been initiated be taken to their logical conclusion expeditiously. In case, there is any other encroachment also, as is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner, the same shall also be examined by the Development Authority and necessary action in accordance with law will be taken. 5.
