W.P.(C) No.16688 of 2010 .................................................................... Dated this the 22nd day of June, 2010. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. This is a public interest litigation filed complaining about the condition of Muttoli-Kakkodi road which was dug up for laying pipeline under the Japan Drinking Water scheme. Government Pleader on instruction submitted that road is now filled up with quarry mud and is motorable as such. The inability to black-top the road is on account of the incessant rain. He has stated that tarring will be done as soon as rain is over. We, therefore, dispose of the W.P.(C) directing respondents to proceed with tarring as soon as rain is over and finish it in any case by 31st August, 2010. If any work is to be done by the Water Authority, the same shall be done by the Water Authority and balance work will be done by the Public Works Department.
