For the Respondent no. 11 Affidavit of service filed on behalf of the petitioner is taken on record. The Panchayat is not represented despite service. The petitioner and the private respondent are co- sharers in respect of the plots in question. The petitioner alleges that the private respondent is raising construction in plot nos. 449 and 452 in Mouza Sukpur without obtaining sanction from the concerned Panchayat. The petitioner submitted a representation in this regard before the concerned authority on 6th February, 2025 and seeks consideration of the same. Opposing such allegation, learned counsel for the private respondent submits that the plots have been amicably partitioned between the parties by virtue of mutual agreement entered into by and between them. The private respondent is raising construction in plot no. 452 in terms of the sanctioned building plan/permission granted by the Panchayat. In view of the fact that the petitioner alleges that unauthorised construction is being raised by the private 2 respondent in plot no. 449 besides plot no. 452, the Pradhan, Chakdighi Gram Panchayat, being the 9th respondent herein, is directed to consider and dispose of the representation submitted by the petitioner dated 6th February, 2025 within four weeks from the date of communication of this order upon granting reasonable opportunity of hearing to all concerned including the petitioner and the private respondent, in accordance with law. The parties shall be at liberty to produce relevant documents in support of their respective contention before the concerned authority at the time of hearing. The decision taken by the authority shall be communicated to the parties within a week thereof. In the event the construction raised by the private respondent is found to be illegal/unauthorised, the concerned authority shall take necessary steps, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. Since no affidavit has been invited, allegations contained in the writ petition shall be deemed not to have been admitted. Urgent certified website copy of the order, if applied for, be given to the parties on compliance of requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
