CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.J. VAZIFDAR, ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE TEJINDER SINGH DHINDSA Present: Mr. S.S. Salar, Advocate, for the petitioner.

* * * * S.J. VAZIFDAR, A.C.J. (ORAL) The petitioner is aggrieved by the demolition of his structure. The petitioner is unable to show that he had the requisite permission for constructing the structure.

2.

Faced with this, it is contended that there are others also who have put up structures without permission. It is further contended that the structure(s) ought to be tolerated.

3.

Absent the production of any permission, it is not possible to issue a writ of mandamus directing the authorities to permit the construction/ re-construction of the structure. It is always open to the petitioner to make an application for permission to put up the structure. The petitioner is also at liberty to inform the respondents of illegal construction(s), if any. No doubt, the authorities will take action in respect thereof in accordance with law. 4.

All the contentions of the petitioner in the application for construction/re-construction are kept open.

5.

The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. (S.J. VAZIFDAR) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE (TEJINDER SINGH DHINDSA) JUDGE 01.12.2015 Amodh AMODH SHARMA 2015.12.02 14:25 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document chandigarh
