Unauthorised Construction of Building – Municipal Corporation not taking action

[Sukumar Nath]

A new promoter started unauthorised construction at fourth floor of our building which was completed 5 years back with sanctioned plan up-to 3rd floor. Many complaints are submitted to Howrah Municipality Corporation but no reply from them What legal measure can we take and in which court

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

Since the municipal corporation is not taking action in spite of complaints given to it, and since the construction is allegedly in violation of laws, you can try filing a writ petition in the high court under Article 226 of the Constitution seeking direction to the municipal corporation to take action under law.
