Consequently, restraining the respondents in interfering with the petitioner's property without following to process of law and pass such other order or orders...."

The case and grievance of the petitioner are as follows: - 'She is the absolute owner of the subject property. She applied for grant of building permit before the then Gram Panchayat by paying the requisite fee. Building permission was accorded, on 30.03.2016. However, since no construction could be made on the basis of the said permit, renewal was sought from the Gram Panchayat; and, renewal was granted, till 30.03.2018. The petitioner is proceeding with the constructions as per the building permit granted by the Gram Panchayat. The Gram

Panchayat is upgraded as municipality in the month of April, 2017. The municipal authorities are high handedly and illegally threatening to demolish the constructions being made by the petitioner in the subject property, without following the procedure established by law. Hence, the writ petition is filed.'

Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that if a direction is given to the respondents 2 & 3 not to interfere with the constructions being made by the petitioner in accordance with the building permit, the ends of justice would be met.

Learned standing counsel representing the respondents 2 & 3 endorses the said submissions.

Having regard to the facts and submissions, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents 2 & 3 not to interfere with the constructions made and/or being made by the petitioner in the subject property in accordance with the building permit granted and renewed by the then Gram Panchayat. It is made clear that if any constructions are being made in deviation of the sanctioned plan, the 2nd respondent municipality is at liberty to take appropriate action against such constructions, by following the procedure established by law. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed.
