Shop demolished by municipal corporation for illegal construction

Before demolishing any unauthorized construction a show cause notice is issued to the owner of the building to afford him an opportunity of showing that his construction is not illegal. An exception to this is when a court of law directs the demolition of a building.

 Furthermore, the notice by the municipal corporation also gives to the affected person the opportunity and time to obtain a stay order from the court.

Now that the properties have been demolished the only legal recourse which may be adopted is to move to court against the corporation and seek damages for the loss occurred due to the demolition. You must appoint a well qualified lawyer and file a suit for damages. Upon submitting of all the evidences, and proper examination by the court, the court will grant appropriate compensation to you.
