Mr. Arnab Mukherjee …For the petitioner Mr. Sandipan Banerjee Mr. Ankit Sureka …For the Howrah Municipal Corporation 1. Affidavit of service filed in Court today is retained with the record. 2. The instant writ petition has been filed, inter alia, complaining illegal construction at premises no. 23, Ashutosh Mukherjee Lane, Salkia, Golabari, Howah – 711106 at the behest of the private respondent no. 5. 3. According to the learned advocate appearing for the petitioner the private respondent no. 5 has encroached on the petitioner’s property. In response to a query of this Court, although it is submitted that the private respondent no. 5 has purchased the property in the year 2008, but the learned advocate for the private respondent is unable identify when the construction has taken place. 4. Having heard the learned advocates for the parties and upon going through the records, I find that the aforesaid building is standing for the last two decades. There is no explanation for approaching this Court belatedly. In view thereof, I find no scope to entertain the instant writ petition. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.
