1. Heard on petition.
2. In the present petition, the impugned order dated 05.03.2021 (Annexure P/1) is under challenge whereby the respondents No. 3 & 4 have granted permission for construction to the respondent No. 5.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the land, on which the respondent No. 5 is raising construction, is a road which has been illegally encroached by the respondent No. 5. It is submitted that without any verification or inspection, the sanction for construction has been granted because of which the construction raised by the respondent No. 5 has obstructed the path of the petitioner. The petitioner has filed a representation before the respondent No. 3 on 02.03.2021 praying to withdraw the sanction
granted to the respondent No. 5 which has not been considered till date, therefore appropriate order be passed.

Learned counsel representing respondents No. 3 & 4 opposes the submissions and submits that according to the averments in the petition, there appears to be a civil dispute present between the petitioner and the respondent No. 5, therefore the petitioner should be directed to approach the civil Court. It is further submitted that the representation filed by the petitioner shall be decided by the respondent No. 3 at the earliest, hence the petition be disposed off.
