Is This Building Legal?

A 5-storey commercial building is coming up on a residential site at the circle opposite V.V. Puram Police Station . This building is in violation of Mysore City Corporation building bylaws and will pose serious problems to pedestrians and vehicular traffic. There are no setbacks and the cellar which should be used for parking according to bylaws will evidently be not used for parking since no access has been provided (Even if access can be provided, it will violate 1:10 slope mandated by law).
