Calcutta High Court Orders Demolition of Illegally Constructed Tower in Kolkata

In a significant turn of events, the Calcutta High Court has issued a demolition order for a multi-story residential tower in the outskirts of Kolkata. The tower, which was part of a real estate project with 15 other towers, was constructed illegally, infringing on the undivided share of apartment owners in the other 15 towers of the same project.

The case, known as Rajan Kumar Prasad & Ors v New Town Kolkata Development Authority & Ors, does not specify the exact real estate project in question. The tower was constructed at the cost of the undivided share of flat owners of the other 15 towers.

The demolition order was issued last Friday, but no new information about the timeline for the demolition has been provided. The court's decision was made due to the tower's illegal construction, but no new information about the response of the parties involved or any potential legal challenges to the order has been disclosed.

The demolition will undoubtedly affect the flat owners of the other 15 towers in the same real estate project. However, no alternatives have been proposed for these affected owners, and no new information about the cost of the demolition has been made available.

It is important to note that no new information about any public safety concerns related to the tower has been provided. The location of the tower within the outskirts of Kolkata, specifically in the area of New Town, has been confirmed.

This decision serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to construction laws and regulations to ensure the safety and rights of all parties involved in real estate projects. More information about the case and its progress is expected to be released in due course.
