According to the learned Advocate for the petitioners, they had earlier approached this Court by filing a writ petition being W. P. No. 1174 (W) of 2009. That writ petition was disposed of by an order dated 2nd April, 2009 passed by Pinaki Chandra Ghose, J. It has been observed by the Court in the said order that after granting sanction of building plan by the Municipal authorities, the said authorities had no right even to interfere, if construction was carried on in accordance with the sanctioned plan. However, if there was any deviation, it was observed that the Court's order dated 2nd April, 2009 would not stand in the way of the Municipal authorities to cause an enquiry into the matter and take steps in accordance with the provisions of law.
