ORAL ORDER (PER: HON'BLE MR. VIBHU BAKHRU, CHIEF JUSTICE)
1. None appears for the complainant.
2. The complainant has filed the present complaint alleging willful disobedience of the order dated 27.05.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge of this court in W.P.No.12976/2025 (LB-RES).
3. The complainant alleged in the writ petition that one Mr.B.Samiulla Khan has raised construction in violation of the building bye-laws. He, therefore, sought direction to the concerned authorities to take immediate action and to stop further illegal construction. The said contention was disputed by Mr.B.Samiulla Khan, who was arrayed as respondent No.4 in the writ petition.
4. The learned Single Judge disposed of the writ petition by directing the concerned authority to take decision whether Mr.B.Samiulla Khan had constructed any building or was raising any construction, contrary to building bye-laws.
