Yes, MCD has the authority to demolish unauthorized constructions, including a full flat, if it violates building bye-laws or was constructed without sanction. However, MCD will act as per its demolition order, which could involve partial or full demolition depending on the extent of illegality. If you want full demolition, you may submit a formal representation along with the complaint requesting the same. MCD is not obligated to demolish the entire flat if only part of it is unauthorized, unless specifically found so in its investigation.

Yes, of course the MCD can demolish the complete flat, if it is completely constructed illegally. in order for the MCD to do that you need to establish the construction to have been done not in accordance with the DDA/ MCD norms.

In response to complaints concerning unauthorised construction, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), after completing the requisite due process, is mandated to demolish such illegal structures. The scope of the demolition depends on the extent of the unauthorised construction: if an entire flat is deemed to be unauthorised, it will be subject to complete demolition. Conversely, if only portions of a flat are found to be unauthorised, the demolition activities will be restricted specifically to those non-compliant parts.
