J U D G M E N T The writ petition is filed mainly with the following prayer :- “Issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the respondents 2 to 5 to remove the unauthorised encroachment into the NH-47 on the western portion of the NH-47 at Kuttivattam Junction made by the 6th respondent forthwith.” Learned Government Pleader submits that the matter has been considered by the 5th respondent and appropriate action has been initiated. In case the petitioner has still any grievance left, he may approach the 5th respondent, in which case, the needful action for removal of the encroachment will be taken within another three months. The writ petition is disposed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. tgs OP NO. 2
