Recently, the Calcutta High Court orally instructed the state authorities not to continue demolishing rooftop cafes and restaurants in the city, after owners of a restaurant on Park Street approached the court.

Although the Calcutta High Court bench of Justice Gaurang Kanth did not pass an official stay order, it recorded the state counsel's assurance that no further action would be taken till the matter is heard by the court. The matter came up for urgent hearing after the counsel representing the restaurant owners approached the Calcutta High Court claiming that their property was under immediate threat of demolition owing to a directive issued by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation banning rooftop restaurants, after a fire at a hotel recently killed multiple people. The court questioned the state as to why no notice was issued to the petitioners, even if the structure was illegal.
