Quick Summary: Madhu Jain, who lives on the second floor of a building in Rohini, Delhi, is upset about unauthorized construction on the floors above her. She took the matter to court, and now the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has to sort it out.

Madhu Jain's Complaint

Madhu Jain owns and lives on the second floor of a building in Rohini, Delhi. She noticed that someone was building extra floors on top of her building without permission. So, she went to court to get it stopped.

MCD Steps In

The MCD got involved and issued a notice on November 19, 2025, questioning if the entire building was legal, not just the new floors.

Madhu Jain and Respondent Get a Say

Madhu Jain's lawyer argued that she didn't do anything wrong. The court decided that her complaint should be seen as her official response to the MCD's notice.

The person who built the extra floors (respondent no. 2) also gets a chance to explain their side. The MCD will listen to both parties before making a decision.

What's Next?

The MCD has to review both responses and make a decision within eight weeks. If anyone's unhappy with the outcome, they can take further legal action.

Case Closed... For Now

The court, led by Justice Mini Pushkarna, has wrapped up the case for now, but the situation might continue depending on what the MCD decides.
