Municipalities Act primarily on the ground that the notice does not refer to the encroachment by petitioner warranting removal of the same and without specifically stating the extent of encroachment, issuing notice in a vague manner, thereafter coming and demolishing both encroached and un-encroached portion, amounts to illegal and arbitrary exercise of power.

so, the 2nd respondent is given liberty to remove the encroachment on road margin.
