CWP No. 348 of 1998 5.5.2008 Present: Mr. Rajnish K.Lal, vice Mr. K.D.Sood, counsel for the Petitioner. Mr. Rajesh Mandhotra, Deputy Advocate General for respondent No. 1. Ms. Nishee Goel, vice counsel for respondent No.2. Mr. Sandeep Sharma, Assistant Solicitor General of India, for respondents No. 3 to 5. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed that directions be issued to the respondents to widen the Municipal Road leading from Cart Road to the District Courts especially at the points which are more vulnerable near Winterfield estate. Earlier also CWP No. 810 of 1995 had been filed in which a Commissioner had been appointed by this Court and it was found that near Brightland Hotel the road was only 4.30 mtrs. wide and widening of road was possible at a few points. As far as the land of the army is concerned the army authorities flatly refused to part with any portion of their land. It would be pertinent to mention that below the Catholic Church the width of the road is only 3.15 mtrs. to 3.2 mtrs. and the petitioner in the petition have stated that they are not claiming any relief in respect of the widening of the road at this point. The road near Bright land Hotel was 4.30 mtrs. The learned Deputy Advocate General has placed on record a communication sent by the Executive Engineer, Shimla to the CWP No. 348 of 1998 office of the Advocate General informing him that near Brightland Hotel the road which was 4.30 mtrs wide has now been widened to 5.50 mtrs. and a pedestrian path 1.00 mtr. wide has also been constructed. Keeping in view this new development nothing survives in the petition. It is accordingly disposed of. We, however, hope and trust that the authorities concerned shall maintain the said road in a proper manner. All CMPs are also disposed of in view of the disposal of the main petition.
