    Case Summary: WPA(P) 238/2026 The court dismissed the public interest litigation (PIL) filed by SK. Lal Babu and others challenging the threatened demolition of their property at G.J. Khan Road, Topsia, Kolkata by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, finding the petition unmaintainable. The court held that since the petitioners were the owners of the property with direct personal interest, they could not file a PIL and should instead pursue their remedy through the regular writ petition (WPA 11332/2026) already filed under Article 226 of the Constitution before the Single Judge. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
