Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 22 September 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: Subodh Kumar Shaw (petitioner)
- Respondents: Howrah Municipal Corporation & Others
- Review Petition (R.P.(C) No.10542/2026) filed against the Supreme Court order dated 03‑07‑2026 in SLP (C) No.22530/2026.
- The SLP (C) No.22530/2026 had dismissed a Special Leave Petition that challenged a High Court judgment dated 11‑06‑2026 (MAT No.949 of 2026) concerning the proposed demolition of two floors of a building.
- The core issue was whether the two additional floors, allegedly constructed in violation of the sanctioned building plan, could be retained or must be demolished.
- The Supreme Court, in its earlier order, observed that if a proper inspection confirms construction beyond the sanctioned plan, competent authorities must act in accordance with law, including demolition.
- The Review Petition sought protection against the demolition, arguing that the order should be reconsidered.
Final Outcome
- The Court found no apparent error or ground warranting a review of the 03‑07‑2026 order.
- Consequently, the Review Petition (R.P.(C) No.10542/2026) is dismissed.
- Any pending applications, if any, are ordered to stand disposed of.
