Permission to construct when there is a case pending in trial court

Sir, 

A neighbour of mine has been constructing a house unauthorized and by encroaching the road. 

I complained to the Greater Hyderabad municipal corporation. 

They issued a spoken orders and the owner of the plot approached the court and the case is pending in court. 

Now the municipal corporation has given allowed him to construct. How can they issue permission when the case is still pending before the court

You obtain information about the sanction or permission granted to him during the pendency of the court case and file a case against the municipality itself if there is any irregularity found

Did you file a suit for permanent and mandatory injunction for illegal construction, if any ?

Is there any stay order passed against the encraocher neighbour ?

Whether the GHMC sanctioned plan has included portion of the land for alleged encroachment ?

That sounds like a frustrating situation.

 Generally, when a case is pending in court regarding land or construction disputes, municipal authorities should exercise caution before granting permissions.

However, there are instances where construction may be allowed despite a pending case, depending on factors such as:

No Stay Order: If the court has not issued a stay order explicitly prohibiting construction, the municipal corporation may proceed with granting permission.

Nature of the Case: If the dispute is about ownership rather than construction legality, authorities might allow construction while the case is ongoing.

Administrative Discretion: Sometimes, municipal bodies issue permissions based on internal assessments, which may not always align with legal proceedings.

 You might want to check if the court has issued any interim orders restricting construction. If not, you could consider filing an application in court seeking a stay on the construction until the case is resolved.
