into the submission of the fraudulent demolition report dated 28.09.2025 on the official portal and to take strict disciplinary/legal action against the officials found responsible for misrepresenting facts."

¶16

At the outset, Sri Tejasvi Misra, learned counsel representing Ghaziabad Development Authority (for short, 'G.D.A.') has placed the detailed instructions, which is taken on record. He submits that the petitioner, who is the sister-in-law of respondent no.7, has made various complaints on account of some family dispute wherein she has alleged that the respondents are carrying out construction activity over Khasra Nos. 1027 and 1064 and the matter pertains to actual demarcation at the site in question. He further submits that in consequence thereof, complaint has been entertained and it has been found that certain construction has been carried out over Khasra Nos.1030 and 1063, accordingly, the Authority proceeded to issue a notice under Section 27(1) of the U.P. Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973 (for short, 'the Act, 1973') and later on, once the construction has been carried out unabated, proceeding under Section 28(1) of the Act, 1973 were initiated. Presently, the premise in question has been sealed and the adequate information has already been sent to the concerned S.H.O. It is also apprised to the Court that in view of the notice under Section 27(1) of the Act, 1973, certain demolition proceeding has also been carried out.

¶17

In this backdrop, learned counsel for respondent no.7 has raised an objection that the petitioner has preferred the instant writ petition with concealment of material facts as a family dispute is engaging at various forum i.e. civil and criminal proceedings and the same has not been divulged.

¶18

Considering the facts and circumstances and the complaint so moved by the petitioner, we find that the Ghaziabad Development Authority, which is the responsible Authority to ensure that the construction is to be carried out in its territorial jurisdiction in accordance with law, has already taken remedial measures and we expect that the same must be finalized to its logical conclusion. We further observe that no such activity is to be carried out except in accordance with law.
