    Case Summary: WPA 12417/2026 The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the writ petition filed by Dipak Kumar Singh and others challenging a demolition notice for the 5th and 6th floors of a building in Howrah. Justice Raja Basu Chowdhury held that the petitioners failed to demonstrate the construction was authorized or in accordance with any sanctioned building plan, and mere purchase of illegal structures cannot validate them. The court found no merit in the natural justice violation claim, noting that petitioners bypassed the statutory appeal remedy available under the West Bengal Municipal Act, 1993, and therefore forfeited further appellate rights.
