MOHAMMED LAFFAR, J.

The Petitioner has instituted this action seeking a Writ of Mandamus against the 1^st to 4^th Respondents. The Petitioner contends that the 5^th Respondent, Mr. Dayanandha Alwis, proprietor of the DayaSanka Hotel, has constructed unauthorized structures on his property located adjacent to an 8-foot-wide private access road belonging to the Petitioner. This road serves as the sole access to the Petitioner’s residence at No. 218, Horana Road, Kottawa.

The contested structures include an unauthorized staircase, exhaust and sewage pipelines, window openings, exhaust fan openings, and a roof extension, all encroaching upon and affecting the Petitioner’s private road. These alterations allegedly obstruct and restrict access, pose health risks, and constitute a nuisance. The Petitioner’s complaints to both local authorities and law enforcement failed to resolve the issues. Despite multiple notices from the Urban Development Authority and Maharagama Urban Council, the 5^th Respondent has continued these unauthorized constructions without rectification or approval.

The Petitioner, therefore, prays for a mandate compelling the 1^st to 4^th Respondents to demolish the unauthorized
