Rule of law also envisages that the illegal constructions which are constructed in violation of law must be demolished. If a structure is an illegal structure, even though it has been demolished illegally, such a structure cannot be permitted to come up again.

If there is an illegal construction then, one can go to the municipal corporation of the city and can lodge a complaint with the proper procedure. The municipal corporation will send a notice to the residents/owner of the property.

A notice is sent to the person residing in the illegal construction and is given a time period for reply. The person is also provided sufficient time period by the municipal corporation for obtaining a stay order from the court. If no action has been done by the owner then the construction is liable for demolition.
