Hassan Ms. Anupama Yasmin … For the municipality. Mr. Debasish Basak Ms. Anyasha Das ….. for the State 1. The affidavit-of-service filed in Court today is taken on record. 2. Complaining illegal construction at the behest of the respondent No. 5 and the failure on the part of the municipal authorities to take steps as regards the illegal construction carried out by the private respondent by constructing G+2 storied building over LR plot Nos. 2780 and 2784, JL No. 126, Mouza Basudevpur, P.S. Durgachak, the instant writ petition has been filed. 3. Though, a service was attempted on the private respondent, the service on the private respondent is shown as incomplete. 4. The municipality is, however, unable to enlighten this Court as regards the outcome of the complaint made by the petitioner on 10th August, 2026. 5. In the peculiar facts, without retaining the writ petition in the file, in my view, it shall be prudent to direct the municipality to carry out an inspection at the locale 2 WPA 25316 of 2026 and dispose of the petitioner’s representation by passing reasoned order upon affording opportunity of hearing to the private respondent and the interested parties. If on the basis of the decision any illegal construction is noted, appropriate steps in accordance with law shall be taken. The entire process as directed above shall be concluded within 12 weeks from the date of communication of this order. 6. With the above observations and directions, the writ petition is disposed of.
