The Madhya Pradesh High Court dismissed 106 petitions concerning illegal encroachments and ordered the Bhopal Municipal Corporation to issue a reasoned order after show‑cause notices.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has concluded 106 pending petitions that challenged illegal encroachments and unauthorised constructions across Bhopal. Each petition had prompted the court to issue show‑cause notices to the Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC), demanding an explanation for the violations.
In its recent order, the bench cleared the petitions and instructed the BMC to prepare a detailed, reasoned order addressing the issues raised in the notices. The directive aims to ensure that any unlawful structures are identified, regularised or removed in accordance with municipal regulations.
The court’s decision underscores the judiciary’s focus on curbing illegal development and reinforcing the authority of local bodies to enforce building norms. The BMC is expected to submit its reasoned order within the timeframe specified by the court.
