KATRIAR ORAL ORDER (Per : HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 5. 22.07.2010. This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India has been filed in public interest. It is the complaint of the petitioner that a culvert on Hajipur-Mahnar Road between Biddupur Bazar and Dilawarpur West has been damaged for a long time and - 2 - needs immediate repair. In answer to the petition, the State Government has filed counter affidavit. It is not in dispute that the culvert in question is in disrepair and needs repair. It is, however, stated that some 150 meters away from the existing culvert, the Government has proposed construction of a new culvert with proper drainage system. The work shall be undertaken after the present rainy season. Learned Advocate Mr Ramakant Sharma appearing for the petitioner states that the petitioner is satisfied with the response of the State Government. He, therefore, does not press this petition. We do hope that the State Government will adhere to its statement and will start construction of the proposed culvert and the drainage system, as assured. The petition is disposed of as not pressed.
