In The High Court At Calcutta Constitutional Writ Jurisdiction Appellate Side W.P.A 22985 of 2023 Sri Jagabandhu Saha -versus The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Debasish Das, Mr. Snehasis Jana.

...For the Petitioner.

Affidavit-of-service filed in Court today is taken on record.

None appears on behalf of the Municipality.

The petitioner seeks consideration of the representation made before the Egra Municipality on 31st May, 2023 seeking permission for construction of boundary wall.

As it appears that the representation of the petitioner is pending consideration before the Egra Municipality, accordingly, the instant writ petition is disposed of by directing the Municipality to consider and dispose of the representation filed by the petitioner in accordance with law, after giving a reasonable opportunity of hearing to all the necessary parties at the earliest, but positively within a period of eight weeks from the date of communication of a copy of this order.

A reasoned order shall be passed and communicated to the parties immediately thereafter. It is made clear that this Court has not entered into the merits of the claim made by the petitioner and all points are left open to be decided by the Municipality at the time of consideration of the representation of the petitioner.

The petitioner is directed to forward a copy of the representation dated 31st May, 2023 to the Municipality at the time of communicating the order of the Court. The writ petition stands disposed of.

Urgent certified photocopy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties expeditiously on compliance of usual legal formalities.
