Based on my experience of working closely with the standing counsel of the MCD, I will advise you to not take this situation lightly. If a demolition order is passed against you, you will have to urgently move the court for a relief. Hence, it is better that you take early action. Further and better particulars are needed for an effective opinion.

If the notice is issued without giving you an opportunity of hearing before concluding that the wall was actually demolished and demolished by your father and before asking to pay compensation, you can challenge the same before appellate authority if any or can file a writ petition if there is no appellate authority under concerned municipal act of the state concerned.

Hello Sir I have perused your query. In these circumstances MCD is bound to send you notice before demolition of your floor. MCD cannot just come on their own and instruct to demolish. You can file an RTI on MCD regarding their violation of procedure and can also seek damages for loss it might have cost you. Usually the erring party in such a scenario is given sufficient time to reply to the notice.
