    The High Court at Calcutta quashed the demolition notice dated 13th May, 2026 issued by Kolkata Municipal Corporation, finding that the municipality attempted to execute the demolition order before the statutory period for the petitioner to appeal had expired, thereby rendering any appeal infructuous. The court held that despite the availability of an alternative remedy, the flagrant statutory violation justified exercise of writ jurisdiction, while directing the petitioner to pursue expedited consideration of his stay application pending before the Building Tribunal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
