IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15553 of 2009 1. RAMCHARITRA VERMA S/O LATE JANAK MAHTON, R/O MOH- CHANDRANAGER, P.S-MUFASIL, DISTRICT- KHAGARIA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE COMMISSIONER, MUNGER DIVISION, MUNGER 3. THE COLLECTOR, KHAGARIA 4. THE SUB-DIVISIONAL OFFICER, KHAGARIA 5. THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR, LAND REFORMS, KHAGARIA 6. THE CIRCLE OFFICER, KHAGARIA BLOCK, KHAGARIA 7. THE CIRCLE INSPECTOR, IN THE OFFICE OF CIRCLE OFFICER, KHAGARIA BLOCK, KHAGARIA 8. THE HALKA KARMCHARI, IN THE OFFICE OF CIRCLE OFFICER, KHAGARIA BLOCK, KHAGARIA ----------- 05. 30.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Despite three adjournments no counter affidavit has been filed by the respondents. No useful purpose shall be served by keeping the matter pending any further. The relief sought is for construction of the road from the Home Guard office to village Marar in District- Khagaria. Constructions of roads are matters of policy for the Government to decide, whether it will be constructed at one place or another or not at all. If a policy decision has been taken for construction of the road at a particular place, it has to be constructed at that place in accordance with law. If what the petitioner contends is correct, that the construction had commenced but has been abandoned mid way to allegedly favour certain persons quite naturally it may 2 invite application of Article 21 of the Constitution of India insofar as the larger public is concerned as roads are the artery of a nation constituting a part of the right to life enshrined in Article 21. Let the District Administration appropriately consider these administrative matters and proceed to act in accordance with law to its satisfaction within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The application stands disposed. P.K. ( Navin Sinha, J.)
