PIL 72/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. MADAN B. LOKUR HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE K. MERUNO The prayer in this public interest litigation is that the respondents be directe d to conduct a high level enquiry into the anomalies in construction of a road f rom Bokam to Chambang in Kurung Kumay District of Arunachal Pradesh under PMGSY Scheme. There is no appearance on behalf of the petitioner. However, since the matter is in the nature of a public interest litigation, we have gone through the case pa pers. The allegations made by the petitioner are of a very broad nature. It is submitt ed that sub-standard quality materials have been used in the construction of roa ds, bridges and culverts some of which have already collapsed even before the co mpletion of the project making a mockery of the welfare scheme of the Government of India. Respondents 1, 3, 4 and 5 have filed an affidavit in opposition in which it is s tated that any substandard material brought into the site was rejected on the sp ot. The State Quality Coordinator, during his inspection, did not find any bridg e or culvert that had collapsed as alleged by the petitioner but some culverts w ere found to have developed cracks because of use of inferior materials and they have been dismantled. It is further stated that directions have already been is sued to ensure that construction takes place only after the materials are proper ly tested as per the standard requirement under PMGSY schemes. The Chief Enginee r, Rural Works Department, Itanagar, has directed that the ongoing works should be immediately stopped if the quality of construction is not found as per standa rd required for the PMGSY scheme. There is no denial to the averments made in the affidavit in opposition. Under the circumstances in view of the affidavit filed by respondents 1, 3, 4 an d 5, no further orders are required to be passed. We can only express the view that the Chief Engineer, Rural Works Department, It anagar, should ensure that the road from Bokam to Chambang in Kurung Kumay Distr ict of Arunachal Pradesh is constructed with materials as per the standards pres cribed under the PMGSY Scheme. No further order is required to be passed. The public interest litigation stands disposed of.
