WPA 11926 of 2025 (Srikanta Biswas vs. State of West Bengal & Ors.) Mr. Abhilash Chatterjee Mr. Saikat Dey …. For the Petitioner Nahid Rahaman Sahin Parvin …. For the Private Respondents Mr. Souvik Das …. For the Respondent no. 5 The petitioner alleges that the private respondents have raised unauthorised construction on a plot of land recorded as danga in the L. R. record of rights without conversion of the same and without obtaining sanctioned plan from the concerned Panchayat. The petitioner submitted a representation before the concerned authority in this regard through his learned advocate on 15th May, 2025 which is yet to be considered. The petitioner seeks consideration of the same. Learned counsel for the private respondents submits that the construction has been raised before about 36 years after obtaining sanctioned building plan from the concerned Panchayat and a one storied building has been constructed. However, learned counsel is unable to produce the conversion certificate which ought to have been received prior to raising the construction.
In view of the fact that the representation before the concerned authority is pending, the Pradhan, Jagadishpur Gram Panchayat, being the 6th respondent herein, is directed to consider and dispose of the same 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 respondents, in accordance with law. 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 respondents is found to be illegal/unauthorised, the concerned authority shall take necessary steps in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of. There shall, however, be no order as to costs. Since no affidavit is invited, the allegations contained in the writ petition are deemed not to have been admitted. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) 2
