The court further opined, "The common man bears the brunt, feels cheated when he finds those making illegal and unauthorised constructions getting support, sometimes, either tacit or direct, by the wings of the State which are enjoined with a duty to act swiftly and stall such construction." The court gave the direction while dismissing a petition filed by one K.S.Eshwarappa, challenging an order issued by the Shimoga Municipal Corporation by which his property was to be demolished invoking provisions of the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976.
