I.V.PROMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/11/2006, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.31174 of 2006 .................................................................... Dated this the 24th day of November, 2006. JUDGMENT The petitioner's case is that road puramboke is encroached by third respondent and there is threat of assignment of land to him. Petitioner's grievance is that her access to the road is obstructed on account of encroachment by third respondent. Road puramboke has to be maintained for future development of the road. Therefore, even if presently land is in excess on road side, I feel Government should not allow it to be encroached by people. In the circumstances, W.P. is disposed of directing the first respondent to conduct enquiry and collect views from PWD Engineer in charge of the road and take appropriate action. If third respondent has to be removed, the District Collector will serve notice containing the proposal and hear his objection and pass orders. The petitioner will also be heard in the matter and appropriate site inspection should be got conducted through a responsible officer in Government before Collector deciding the matter finally.
