The learned advocate representing the private respondent submits that no construction was made over the boundary wall as mentioned in the order of demolition. Submission has also been made that only a tin construction was made and that cannot be considered to be as an illegal construction.

It has further been submitted that an objection against the order of demolition has been filed by the private respondent and the Municipality has taken into

The learned advocate for the Municipality submits that there is an illegal construction and accordingly a direction has been passed for demolition of the same.

The learned advocate appearing on behalf of the State respondent submits that an inspection was carried out and illegal construction has been found in the site.

Accordingly the instant writ petition is disposed of by directing the Krishnanagar Municipality to take necessary steps for implementation of the order of demolition passed on 22nd September, 2020, strictly in accordance with law, at the earliest, but positively within a period of eight weeks from the date of communication of a copy of this order.
