Biswanath Somadder, J. - (1.) By consent of the parties, the appeal is treated as on day's list and taken up for consideration along with the application for stay.
(2.) The instant appeal arises out of an order dated 3rd August, 2018, passed by a learned Single Judge in WP 12946 (W) of 2018 (Md. Shaheer Ahmed vs. Kolkata Municipal Corporation & Ors.). By the said order, the writ petition was disposed of in the following terms:- "Report as called for by the order dated July 27, 2018 filed in Court be taken on record. Learned advocate for the Corporation circulates a copy of the report amongst the learned advocate for the private parties in Court. The report speaks of unauthorised construction. It states that a notice under Section 401 of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation Act, 1980 was issued. Learned advocate appearing for the State submits that, upon receipt of the complains from the Corporation, the police have registered cases against the persons responsible. The private respondent is represented. In view of the fact that there subsist unauthorised construction and in view of the fact that Section 401 of the Act of 1980 has already been invoked, it would be appropriate to direct the Corporation to invoke the provisions of Section 400(1) of the Act of 1980 within a period of fortnight from date. It will endeavour to complete the entire exercise within a period of six weeks thereafter. The issue as to the nature and extent of the unauthorised construction is kept open to be decided in such proceedings. Needless to say that, the authorities will afford a reasonable opportunity of hearing to the private parties in such proceedings. Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that, the private respondents have transferred the property despite an order of the Court. It is open to the petitioner to approach the appropriate forum, if there are violations of such order as complained of. W.P. 12946 (W) of 2018 is disposed of without any order as to costs."
(3.) The instant appeal has been preferred by the writ petitioner.;
