CMDA asked to file report on illegal structures
The affidavit must be filed on or before November 12, the First Bench comprising Chief Justice MY Eqbal and Justice TS Sivagnanam said on Thursday.
The Bench was passing interim orders on a writ plea from T Solomon, known as ‘public’ Solomon, for a direction to the Corporation and CMDA to remove unauthorised constructions on Arani Muthumaistry Street and Vathiyar Kandapillai Street in Choolai.
The Bench said it was brought to its notice that Mahaveer Finance and Builders, Vepery got nod to construct ground and first floor at No 16 Vathiyar Kandapillai Street.
But the residential portion extended up to seven floors and thus there was illegal construction of 14 residential parts, against Town and Country Planning Act. Petitioner contended that due to this, residents were facing difficulties.
The petitioner sent a representation to the Corporation and it by its reply dated December 4, 2009, informed him that a notice was issued to the builders for action.
But till date no action was taken.
