The observation was made by a bench comprising Chief Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice M Sathyanarayanan during the hearing of a PIL seeking a CBI probe into the recent collapse of an under-construction multi-storeyed building here that left 61 persons dead this month.
The bench directed Advocate General A.L. Somayaji to suggest means and ways by which there can be monitoring and checks and balances as regards unauthorized construction "which is permeating various towns."
