El tribunal constitucional examinó el caso y determinó que no se violentaron los derechos fundamentales de los recurrentes, pues la municipalidad había actuado apegada a derecho: los trabajos de construcción se realizaron sobre la servidumbre de un tendido eléctrico, en suelo forestal sin autorización y en zona de deslizamiento activo. Además, se siguió el debido proceso en el procedimiento administrativo. La Sala declaró sin lugar el recurso de amparo, confirmando así la legalidad de la orden demolición en protección del ambiente, la seguridad y el ordenamiento territorial.", "summary_en": "In case file 13-006041-0007-CO, the petitioner filed an amparo action challenging the Municipality of Cartago’s decision to demolish dwellings for violating municipal regulations, while the property was located in a forested area with natural hazards.
