13.01.2026 ML- 93 AMR Ct.No.03 WPA 1309 of 2025 Kartick Chandra Dhar -vs.- The State of West Bengal & Ors. Mr. Sukanda Das …for the Petitioner Mr. Sujay Bandyopadhyay Mr. Jagajyoti Das …for the Midnapore Municipality 1. The present writ petition has been filed complaining illegal construction at the best of the private respondent nos. 7 and 8 and the failure on the part of the Municipal Authorities to act on the basis of the complaints made by the petitioner. 2. Today though, the learned advocate representing the petitioner would seek to withdraw the writ petition, Mr. Bandyopadhyay, learned advocate representing the Municipality, on instruction, would submit that on the basis of the complaints made by the petitioner, the Municipal Authorities have conducted an inspection at the locale, which is a high-rise building in plot no. 1807(P), Mouza- Narampur, Police Station- Kotwali, Paschim Medinipore near T.V. Tower Ground under the Midnapore Municipality. 2 3. He would submit that the Municipal Authorities, prima facie, have been able to determine that there are certain deviations and portions of unauthorized construction, though the final decision in this regard is yet to be taken. 4. The private respondents are not represented at the time of call. 5. However, taking into consideration, the submissions made by the Municipality, I am of the view that it would be appropriate to direct the Municipality to proceed with the complaints filed by the petitioner, since the same pertains to illegal and/or unauthorized construction, which is a social evil in itself. The prayer of the petitioner to seek withdrawal of the writ petition in the light of the disclosure made by the Municipality is rejected. 6. Accordingly, the Municipal Authorities are directed to take a decision on the basis of the complaints by carrying out an inspection at the locale. 7. On the basis of such inspection, if any deviations are detected or any illegal and/or unauthorized constructions surfaces, appropriate steps shall be taken under the provisions of Section 218 of the West Bengal Municipal Act, 1993 and the same shall be brought to a logical conclusion as expeditiously as possible, 3 preferably within a period of 12 weeks from the date of communication of this order. 8. Since no affidavit in opposition is called for, the allegations made in the writ petition are deemed not to have been admitted by the respondents. 9. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. 10. All parties are act on the basis of a copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Raja Basu Chowdhury, J.)
