Subroto Das v. The State Of West Bengal And ORS

D/L - 34 28/10/2025 Court. No. 2 Aritra In the High Court at Calcutta Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri Appellate Side WPA 1921 of 2025 Sri Subroto Das Vs.

The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Bapi Sarkar Mr. Roumyadip Saha ....for the petitioner Ms. Rima Sarkar ....for the State Affidavit of service filed in Court today is taken on record. The petitioner alleges that the respondent No.8 is carrying on an illegal construction of a multistoried building without obtaining any sanctioned plan from the competent authority. The petitioner claims to have submitted a representation before the various authorities including the Pradhan Jaigaon Gram Panchayat by a letter dated July 1, 2025.

The grievance of the petitioner is that no decision on such representation has been communicated to the petitioner till date. Since the complaint with regard to an unauthorised construction has been made, WPA 1921 of 2025 stands disposed of by directing all the competent authorities of Jaigaon Gram Panchayat to consider representation of the petitioner, make necessary enquiries by deputing competent officials and dispose of the representation by passing a reasoned order in accordance

with law after giving an opportunity of hearing to the respective parties.

In the event, the authority is of the view that illegal construction has been made, steps shall be taken in accordance with law. The entire exercise shall be completed as expeditiously as possible but positively within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a server copy of this order along with a copy of the representation dated July 1, 2025. All parties shall act with the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, J.)
