The instant petition under Article 226 of the Constitution filed as public interest litigation prays for issuance of direction to the respondent authorities to erect foot over bridges (FOBs) at National Highway 1 with adequate height leaving clearance for the vehicles. The claim made is that the vertical height of the bridges should be 6.25 Mts. at the location of FOBs. In that regard, the petitioner has already sought information from the National Highway Authority of India. According to the reply sent on 27.6.2011 (P.3), the National Highway Authority has clarified that the case is being taken up with Head Quarter National Highway Authority of India to increase the vertical height of FOBs to 6.25 Mts. Once the matter is already being attended to by the concerned authorities there does not remain anything for this Court to determine. 2. However, Mr. Chanderhas Yadav, learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that vertical height of other bridges has to be CWP No. 17817 of 2011 2 increased. To a pointed query by the Court, learned counsel has not been able to point out any such data either from the pleadings or otherwise. In the absence of any data, it is not possible to adjudicate the issue whether any directions are required to be issued. In view of the above, the writ petition fails and the same is dismissed.
