Our family ran a restaurant in the 1970s, which was unfortunately torn down for a road widening project. We were offered a new shop in exchange, but my father refused to pay the required amount and instead chose to rebuild the restaurant along the newly constructed road. He obtained all necessary licenses, including shop act, electricity, water, and fire brigade, but unfortunately, the land papers were never acquired. Now, the municipal corporation has issued a notice to demolish the restaurant within a month. Is there any way we can prevent this demolition?

Based on Indian laws, your father’s failure to obtain land papers makes your restaurant construction illegal. While having other licenses doesn’t automatically legitimize the building, you could try appealing the demolition order by proving ownership claims or negotiating a settlement with the municipal corporation. However, the absence of land papers significantly weakens your case.
