The learned trial Court has also restrained the respondents/ defendants therein by an order of ad interim injunction from changing the nature and character of the property in any manner including raising any construction therein. The petitioner alleges that despite such order, the private respondents are constructing the second floor of the existing building without obtaining any sanctioned plan from the concerned Panchayat. Denying such allegation learned counsel for the private respondents submits that after the order of status quo was granted, no further construction has been made in the property in question. The issue with regard to the alleged violation of the order of the learned appealable court shall be dealt with by the said learned court in accordance with law. Since the petitioner alleges that the private respondents are raising unauthorized construction without obtaining sanctioned building plan and also as the representation submitted by the petitioner in this regard on January 30, 2025 before the concerned authority is pending, the Pradhan, Bethuadahari-II Gram Panchayat, being the 6th respondent herein, is directed to consider and dispose of the same within six weeks from the date of communication of this order upon granting reasonable opportunity of hearing to all concerned including the petitioner and the private respondents, in accordance with law.
