Heard both sides. It is unnecessary for this Court to go into various aspects narrated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition since the petitioner himself has come forward and stated that he gave a representation on 08.10.2007 to the respondent authorities requesting them to enquire into the matter and to see that the ‘Common path and provision for the drainage water flow and resting place to the Bullock Carts’ is restored and that the same is pending consideration. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing respondents 2 and 4 to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 08.10.2007 and pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of Six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 18-04-2008 Gsn.
