Ranbeer Bose vs Anita Das

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's exercise of writ jurisdiction in a private dispute under the West Bengal Municipal (Building) Rules, 2007, particularly Rule 50, was inappropriate. The Court noted that the appellants' construction did not violate the sanctioned building plan, and thus, the contempt proceedings against them were unwarranted. The Court allowed the appellants to challenge the show cause notice and the enquiry report under the West Bengal Municipal Act, 1993, emphasizing the need for fair proceedings without undue pressure from contempt actions.
