(1.) Heard the learned advocates for the parties.
(2.) In the instant case, the petitioner has prayed for the following
reliefs :
a) A writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondent
Municipal Authority or their men, agent and subordinate to take
legal action against the respondent Nos. 5 and 6 for non-compliance
of the provision of the West Bengal Municipal Act forthwith.
b) A writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondent
to demolish the unauthorized construction of the respondent Nos.

c) A writ in the nature of certiorari calling upon the respondent
authority to transmit the entire records relating to this case
before this Hon'ble Court so that after perusal of the same
conscionable justice may be administered.
d) An interim order in terms of prayer (a) and (b) as above.
(3.) This writ application has been affirmed by one Sri Sanjoy Kr.
Piruka alias Agarwal, son of Sri Babulal Piruka alias Agarwal as
constituted attorney of the writ petitioner Makhanlal Agarwal. The
petition was affirmed on 4th September, 2001. This writ petition has
been opposed by filing affidavit-in-opposition by the private
respondents 5 and 6. In the affidavit-in-opposition it has been
contended that on identical cause of action, the writ petitioner already
has filed a civil suit being Title Suit No. 213 of 2000 through his
constituted attorney Sri Sanjoy Kr. Piruka as the plaintiff on behalf
of Makhanlal Agarwal. It has been further contended that in an
application under Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 praying an order of
injunction restraining construction work was filed and after hearing
the learned civil Judge (Junior Division), 2nd Court at Asansol. rejected
the application by the order dated 22nd February, 2001 by holding,
inter alia, that the Court did not find any deviation of construction by
the defendants from the sanctioned plan. Further, it is held by the
trial Court below who decided the injunction application that Kulti
Municipality being a necessary party was not impleaded in the suit.
It has been further submitted before this Court that challenging the
order dated 27th February, 2001 passed by the civil Judge (Junior
Division), 2nd Court at Asansol in the aforesaid Title Suit, an appeal
was filed being Misc. Appeal No. 10 of 2001, which now has been
decided against the present writ petitioner who was appellant therein
by rejecting the appeal. The learned advocate for the petitioner,
however, submits that cause of action of civil suit was on a different
angle. In the writ petition, however, it appears that there is no whisper
of the pendency of the civil suit rejecting the injunction application
filed by the writ petitioner and pendency of the Misc. Appeal against
the order of rejection of injunction application. Having regard to such
state of affairs now this writ application to be decided.;
