6. This Court has also gone through the FIR as also the photographs attached with it, nothing has been incorporated in the petition to show that the structure which the complainant has alleged to have been demolished by the petitioner is not attributed to them. This coupled with the fact that four years later, they have decided to approach this Court, no case of
