NAME NOT KNOWN WIFE OF ARJUN BHARATI, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE NANAURA, PLICE STATION NARDIGANJ NAWADA …RESPONDENTS For the petitioner :Mr. R.B.Prasad For the State :Mr. Rishi Raj Sinha, G.P.XIX & :Mr. Gopal Krishna, A.C ----------- 04. 13.05.2011 Heard both sides. The application precisely has become infructuous as the settlement of the pond/water body with respondents is going to expire next month. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the pond/water body should not be settled with anyone as it is for general use of the villagers. It is the contention of the petitioner that one similar pond/water body was earlier settled by the respondents and on an objection filed on behalf of the villagers, the same was released. It appears that the petitioner has already approached 2 the respondents in this regard. Having heard the parties and after perusal of the pleadings made in the writ petition as well as in the counter affidavit, this Court is convinced that the application has become infructuous. Let the petitioner pursue the aforesaid representation and the authority concerned shall be at liberty to pass order thereon in accordance with law. This disposes of the application. hr ( Kishore K.
