LUCKNOW: The Lucknow bench of Allahabad HC on Friday expressed concern on illegal constructions raised in the city with the connivance of officials of the Lucknow Development Authority.
The bench directed the LDA to furnish the list of officials who, according to it, are guilty of keeping calculated silence and closing their eyes when the illegal constructions were being raised. It directed the LDA to place before it the report regarding action taken against the erring officials.
A bench of Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal and Justice Jaspreet Singh passed the order on a PIL moved by Lieutenant Colonel Ashok Kumar (Retired) ten years ago. The PIL had raised the issue of illegal construction in the city and had also blamed LDA officials for it. The PIL also stated that no action has ever been taken against erring officials and hence they keep on conniving with builders.
