Learned advocate appearing for the private respondents would submit that there a suit pending between the private parties and there is a subsisting order of injunction as well. 4. The Uluberia municipality is also represented. 5. Learned advocate appearing for the municipality by placing before this Court a notice dated 10th April 2026 submits that on the basis of the inspection carried out by the municipality, two several stop work notices have been issued which are individually addressed to the respondent 2 nos. 6 and 7. Let copies of both the stop work notices and the inspection report as placed before this Court by the learned advocate appearing for the municipality be retained with the record. 6. Having regard to the disclosure made, and noting that the municipality had already taken steps and had issued stop work notices, I am of the view that the municipality must bring the proceeding to a logical conclusion. Till such time a decision is taken by the municipality in accordance with the provisions of Section 218 of the West Bengal Municipal Act, 1993, no further construction can be carried out at the locale. 7. It is expected that the decision shall be taken on an expeditious basis preferably within a period of 12 weeks from the date of communication of this order by passing a reasoned order upon giving opportunity of hearing to the interested parties including the petitioners. 8.
