THE UNION OF INDIA, Through Maj- Gen. B.C. Khanduri (Retired) Minister of Road Transport and High-Ways, Government of India, New Delhi. 2. The State of Bihar, Through Mr. Mahavir Singh, Minister of Road Construction, Govt. of Bihar, Patna ----------- Respondents -------------------- 2. 25.02.2011 The petitioner, who claims to be an Advocate of this Court, has filed this writ petition seeking a direction for improvement of condition of National Highway Nos. 30 and 31. He further claims that due to bad shape of road, he has to incur extra expenses for under taking journey to Begusarai, therefore, damages may be awarded in his favour. However, when the matter has been taken up for consideration he is not present to press this application. 2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondent-State submits that condition of National Highway Nos. 30 and 31 has improved substantially and if the petitioner is, at all, aggrieved, then he should approach the proper authority for redressal of his grievances. It is also submitted that without approaching the authority concerned, the 2 present petition has been filed for the reliefs prayed for, which may not be entertained in the present proceeding. 3. On examining materials available on record, this Court is of the considered opinion that no useful purpose would be served by keeping the matter pending any longer before this Court particularly in the light of submissions made on behalf of the respondents. However, if the petitioner is at all further aggrieved with the condition of the road, then he may file appropriate application before the competent authority for redressal of his grievances. 4. With the aforesaid observations, the present application stands disposed of. Anand Kr. ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
