You are a Municipal Commissioner of a fast-2 city experiencing rapid urban expansion. Several high-rise residential and commercial buildings are under construction in the city to meet the growing demand for housing. One such luxury residential complex is being built, employing hundreds of daily-wage labourers, many of whom live in temporary settlements at the construction site. Late one night during the monsoon season, one of the under-construction buildings. Seven labourers, including two minors, die on the spot. Several others are critically injured and rushed to the hospital. The tragic incident results in public outcry, intense media scrutiny, and protests by a local NGO. The state government orders a formal inquiry and directs you to submit a report within a week. Your preliminary investigation reveals a series of irregularities. The construction department fails to substantial and not in accordance with the National Building Code. Although the approved plan permits construction of fifteen floors, the builder has already done two extras. Moreover, the structure has encroached on land demarcated for a community park and a fire service lane under the city's Zonal Development Plan. Those violations are not reported during site inspections conducted by the building inspector of the municipal corporation. The builder demands the project continues despite the public outcry. One evening, his personal aide visits you privately. He suggests that if you settle the matter in your predecessor's fashion, you can have a premium apartment worth ₹2 crore in the same residential complex. In the same breath, he hints that if the matter is not resolved swiftly in the builder's favour, someone in his office is prepared to file a complaint against you under the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
