The petitioner asserted lawful title and possession, supported by a decree for perpetual injunction from a trial court, and had submitted representations to the authorities which remained unaddressed. The primary issue was whether the respondents failed to act upon the representations made by the petitioner regarding the unauthorized construction. The court observed that the representation dated 22.10.2025 was still pending and reasoned that the appropriate course of action was to direct the concerned authority to examine the matter and pass orders after providing a fair hearing to all parties involved. this writ petition is disposed of.
