Learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for the respondent no.10 are present. 2 Upon hearing the counsels present, it appears that we had passed order dated 5-10-2010 contained in annexure-2 in a Public Interest Litigation on presuming that the facts given in the letter of the Executive Engineer, Sone Canal Division, Khagaul addressed to District Magistrate, Patna dated 19-5-2010 are correct. Now it transpires that before that order was passed, the Executive Engineer got the load bearing capacity of the concerned bridge under Paliganj block in village Jalpura re-examined and on the basis of such reevaluation, another letter dated 6-7-2010 was sent to the District Magistrate, Patna with clear reference to the earlier letter dated 19-5-2010. As per the revised load bearing capacity vehicles up to 15 ton can ply on the said bridge. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances, this writ petition filed under Public Interest Litigation is disposed of with a direction to the District Magistrate to ensure the correctness of load bearing capacity of the bridge estimated by the Executive Engineer and if the revised evaluation is correct then vehicles carrying load 3 within the load bearing capacity of the bridge may be permitted to ply.
