    The court dismissed the writ petition filed by Suman Sana and others challenging an order regarding unauthorized construction on their property. The court held that the construction (95.49 sq meters, 5.33 meters high) violated Section 23(1) of the West Bengal Panchayat Act, 1973, which requires prior written permission from the Gram Panchayat for structures under 150 sq meters and 6.5 meters height. Since the petitioners admitted to constructing without sanction and no legal provision exists for post-facto regularization, the court directed the Sub-Divisional Officer, Howrah to demolish the structure within six weeks.
