Calcutta High Court Orders Reconstruction and Fines in Separate Building Demolition Cases
The Calcutta High Court addressed two cases involving building demolitions in West Bengal. In one, the court ruled that authorities had wrongly demolished a privately owned, approved commercial building during an eviction drive targeting government land, ordering reconstruction and Rs 10 lakh compensation. In another, the court fined a building owner Rs 1 lakh for delaying demolition of unauthorized floors exceeding sanctioned plans, criticizing his repeated legal delays. Both rulings emphasize adherence to legal procedures and property rights amid enforcement actions.
