In this public interest litigation the main grievance is that the construction of the road over bridge at Level Crossing No.2 at Gaya had come to a standstill. The bridge is to be constructed by the Railways through its agency. It was submitted by the Railways on the earlier occasion that there is an impediment, as the land which is required to be acquired has not yet been acquired and in fact no steps are being taken by the State Government. A counter affidavit has been filed by the State Government that a notification under Section 4 read with Section 17(1) of the Land Acquisition Act has been issued on - 2 - 18.2.2010 and the process is vigorously taken to get the things complete as per law so that there is no remora to construct the over bridge. In view of the aforesaid, we only direct the authorities to work in harmony to see that the over bridge is constructed within a reasonable period of time. With the aforesaid direction the writ petition stands disposed of. Pawan/- (Dipak Misra, CJ) (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
