CWP No. 790/2009 7.9.2009:Present: Mr. Ajay Mohan Goel, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. J.K. Verma and Mr. Anil Jaswal, Deputy Advocate Generals for the State. Mr. Sandeep Sharma, Assistant Solicitor General of India for the Union of India. Ms. Jyotsna Rewal Dua, Advocate for respondent No.3. In sequel to order dated 4.9.2009, the Chief Engineer (South) has filed supplementary report in the sealed cover. The same is permitted to be taken on record. We have gone through both the reports furnished by the Chief Engineer (South). We are of the considered view that the only area which needs attention is between RDs 210-240. Ms. Jyotsna Rewal Dua, Advocate fairly submits that as far as the distance between these RDs is concerned, the same will be taken care of by constructing a bridge or cantilever. In view of via-media as discussed and adopted by the parties neither the natural flow of the river shall be impeded nor the road shall be constructed through the river bed. Accordingly, we permit respondent No.3-company to construct the proposed road as per the sketch plan furnished by the Chief Engineer forthwith and to take care of distance between RDs 210-240 as undertaken. We place on record our appreciation for the promptitude and honesty of purpose while filing two reports by Mr. Pradeep Sharma, Chief Engineer (South). We are also conscious of the fact that due to non-construction of the road, the project being carried out by respondent No.3 was delayed. In view of this, the time frame of the project shall automatically stand extended in the interest of justice. Accordingly, in the light of above, the petition is disposed of. Copy Dasti on usual terms. No costs. (R.B. Misra), Acting Chief Justice. (Rajiv Sharma), Judge. September 7, 2009. *awasthi*
