It is alleged that after the same was removed the matter was again moved before the Petitions Committee of the Bihar Legislative Council and under the direction of the Committee a hand pump is proposed to be installed on the same site which had caused obstruction upon the road. The admitted position is that the said hand pump has not been installed as yet and now the 2 grievance of the petitioner does not relate to any encroachment since it is to be installed by the public authorities on public land. The only grievance remains is that the same may not be installed so as to obstruct the free movement of traffic and vehicles on the said road. In the above circumstances, the writ application is disposed of with a direction to the respondent authorities to ensure that the hand pump is not installed in a manner so as to obstruct free flow of traffic on the public road.
