It is true that the local persons had raised objections to the illegal construction of buildings by the Trust in their property.

If there be any such illegal obstruction, respondents 1 and 2 shall take appropriate action against respondents 3 to 5. At the moment, the police do W.P.(C) No. 10721 of 2011 -: 3 :- not apprehend any such contumacious activities from respondents 3 to 5.
