unauthorized buildings under the Section 56(2A) of Town and Country Planning
Act 1971, which gives sufficient power to the civic body to lock and seal any
building that has deviated from its original and approved building permission,
after serving proper notice
In a poster placed on the walls of the sealed buildings, the
civic body has warned that neither the owner nor developer or occupier have any
right to use the sealed premises in any manner until the building is restored
as per planning permission or removal of unauthorized portions or till the
order is revoked. If there is any tampering with the seal fixed by the civic
body is found it will invite a criminal prosecution on the owner or developer
or occupier, the poster warned.
