IS CIVIL REMEDY AVAILABLE?

In a city with rampant illegal and unauthorised constructions, the provisions of Section 515A amendment aims to enable the designated officer of the Municipal Corporation to take fast action against unauthorized constructions. However, considering the large number of cases seeking protection in respect of the such action of demolition under Sec. 351 of the BMC Act. Also, to avoid a situation where an applicant is without a remedy, a civil remedy may be available subject to its merits.

Unless the Courts have the occasion to consider the plea of ousting the jurisdiction in light of each case. The civil court’s jurisdiction may not be not automatically ousted. “To non-suit somebody and prevent him from approaching a civil court merely because there is a statutory bar is not a correct understanding of the law”. Lastly, writ remedy under Article 226 may be available in a fit case.
