The writ petition originally came to be filed for a direction to the respondents to remove the encroachment from public road bearing Plot No. 251, Khata No. 94 and Thana No. 203 situated at village Umar Mathia, District-Gopalganj. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has no up to date instruction in the matter as to whether the encroachment still exists or has been removed. Learned counsel for the State is also in the same position and submits that he has also not received any instruction. 2 This Court finds that the writ petition need not be kept pending and accordingly the same is being disposed off with liberty to the petitioner to file a petition before the Collector, Gopalganj with regard to any encroachment on the public road in question which may still exist. If such a petition is filed within a period of two months from today alongwith a copy of this order, the Collector, Gopalganj shall enquire into it and ensure that appropriate proceedings are initiated and the matter taken to its logical conclusion in accordance with law within the next three months thereafter. In any case the Collector Gopalganj shall be obliged to ensure that public road is made encroachment free in its entirety. Kamlesh (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
