    Case Summary: WPA 10149/2026 Court Decision: The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the writ petition challenging the municipal record alteration, though acknowledging the procedure violated natural justice principles. However, the court declined to intervene because the underlying property deed is already under challenge in a civil suit (Title Suit No. 272 of 2014) and no interim relief has been granted in that suit. Key Facts & Reasoning: Petitioners challenged the municipality's change of assessee name from the deceased original owner (Maya Debi) to Respondent No. 7, based on a sale deed dated August 1, 2012. The court found that since the deed's validity is pending judicial determination in civil court, this was the appropriate forum to resolve the ownership dispute, not the writ petition. The court reserved liberty for petitioners to seek relief if they succeed in the civil suit. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
