Case Summary: WPO/199/2026 The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the writ petition filed by Smt. Bimala Shaw and Steven Sourodip Biswas challenging illegal construction at 7A Monilal Banerjee Road, Kolkata. Although the respondents claimed it was merely an alteration of an existing spiral staircase with municipal approval, the municipality's report revealed deviations in execution, leading to a stop-work notice (July 2025) and regularization order (December 2025). Justice Raja Basu Chowdhury dismissed the petition on grounds that the unauthorized construction had been regularized and alternative remedies existed before the Tribunal, making the writ petition premature. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
