OD- 11 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA CONSTITUTIONAL WRIT JURISDICTION ORIGINAL SIDE. WPO/405/2026 RANJANA DUTTA VS THE KOLKATA MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AND ORS. BEFORE THE HON’BLE JUSTICE RAJA BASU CHOWDHURY Date: 15th September, 2026 Appearance Ms. Sweta Mukherjee, Adv. Ms. Sarmistha Dutta, Adv. ….. for the petitioner Mr. Biswajit Mukherjee, Adv. Mr. Swapan Kumar Debnath, Adv. …for the KMC 1. Being aggrieved on the failure on the part of the municipal authorities to communicate the reasoned order to the petitioner in terms of the order dated 8th January, 2026, the instant writ petition has been filed. 2. Having heard the learned advocates appearing for the respective parties and upon ascertaining from the petitioner's advocate that in terms of the order dated 8th January 2026, the petitioner has already been afforded an opportunity of hearing on 13th March, 2026 and despite the aforesaid, the outcome of proceedings has not been communicated to the petitioner, I am of the view that the municipal authorities should communicate the outcome of the proceedings if the same has already been concluded within two weeks from date. If on the contrary, the proceedings are yet to be concluded, the municipal authorities shall dispose of the same by passing a reasoned order on an expeditious basis upon affording a further opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. The outcome of such proceedings must be communicated to the petitioner as expeditiously as 2 possible preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of giving such a further opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. 3. The writ petition is, thus, disposed of. (Raja Basu Chowdhury, J.) akg/
