Mani Trust filed writ petition (WPA 1024 of 2026) alleging unauthorized and illegal construction by private respondent No.13, seeking intervention from the jurisdictional municipality. The Calcutta High Court, Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri, presided by Justice Aniruddha Roy, heard the matter on August 10, 2026. The Court noted a prior stop‑work notice issued by the municipality and ordered respondent No.10 to: (a) issue a prior hearing notice of at least seven days to the petitioner, respondent No.13 and respondent No.8; (b) conduct a physical inspection of the alleged construction, prepare a report and serve it to the parties; (c) dispose of the petitioner’s representation dated December 10, 2025, by passing a reasoned order within five weeks of this order; (d) if the construction is confirmed illegal, take all consequential steps within four weeks of the reasoned order; and (e) seek assistance from the local police if required. The Court clarified that it did not adjudicate the merits and that no rights or equity are created for the petitioner. The writ petition was disposed of without any order as to costs.
