Supravat Ghanti v. Hooghly Zilla Parishad And ORS.

06.04.2026 Ct. No.15 b.das WPA 28816 of 2025 Supravat Ghanti Vs.

Hooghly Zilla Parishad & Ors.

Mr. Soumen Bhattacharjee Mr. Ankan Das Ms. Shradhya Ghosh ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Suman Basu ...for the respondent nos.1-3. Affidavit of service filed by the petitioner is taken on record.

None appears for the Panchayat and the private respondents despite service.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the private respondents are raising unauthorized construction without obtaining any sanction from the Panchayat. The petitioner submitted a representation in this regard before the concerned authority on 19th August, 2025 which is yet to be considered. The petitioner seeks consideration of the same.

Upon consideration of the submission made on behalf of the parties, this Court is of the view that since the representation submitted before the concerned authority is pending, the Pradhan, Pearapur Gram Panchayat, being the 5th respondent herein, is directed to consider and dispose of the same within six weeks from the date of communication of this order upon affording reasonable

opportunity of hearing to all concerned including the petitioner and the private respondents, in accordance with law.

The decision taken by the authority shall be communicated to the parties within a week thereof. In the event the construction raised by the private respondents is found to be illegal/unauthorized, the concerned authority shall take necessary steps in accordance with law.

The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall, however, be no order as to costs. Since no affidavit is invited, the allegations contained in the writ petition are deemed not to have been admitted. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
