In the colony in which I reside,there are more than 300 self made constructions out of 336 flats DDA,10/15 years old.
The MCD ppl chose two constructions(one is mine) out of all and then served show cause notice asking why these constructions should not be demolished?
We replied (got the stamped receiving) that these are authorised ones--how can these 300 construction come into existence and have survived for 15 long years if unauthorised ?
We also asked them to show the cause that why they have chosen two properties out of 300 constructions in the same locality and leave others .
In fact,they re taking huge bribes and who give they are left and who can't their buildings are demolished.
My question---their show cause notice--is a legal binding.
My reply---is a legal binding.
What next--Can they come for demolition without replying the questions raised by me in the reply ?
In fact,I know that legally they can not choose any single/two constructions for demolition and leave others.
So asking them these questions was a trick to pressurize them not to touch even a single construction.
Please suggest,what I have done was right or wrong or what else I should/could/would do?

If the officials of MCD are acting illegally, inter-alia, they can be prosecuted under section 166 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
