The resolution was passed and proposed demolition is being undertaken without placing it before any competent authority and assessment by public works department that the existing building is unsafe, according to the petitioners. They said BDA is a public authority and any demolition of the existing structure followed by reconstruction would have irreversible and serious consequences on public property and the exchequer.
