W.P.(PIL) No.6141 of 2008 & ORS:

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

This has been asserted on behalf of the Ranchi Regional
Development Authority (for short ‘RRDA’), Municipal Corporation and the State
Government that the ante-encroachment drive is in its full swing.

Correctness of the assertion cannot be said to be 100% true. Though
certain steps have been taken, there is much to be done so far. Therefore, the
authorities must ensure that their machineries have been perfectly geared up, oiled
and made effective for appropriate improvement of the city for last so many
years. Specific instances have been pointed out about the Radium Road. The
encroachments at Radium Road are of the nature, which should have come to the
notice of the RRDA much earlier. They almost have made the road incapable of
being visited. The new structures are coming up and their existence have been
indicated to the learned counsel for the RRDA. This has also been pointed out that
on the main road market, there is a government building known as RIADA,
Ranchi. It’s validity is in question. The respondent RRDA will look into it.

This is also pointed out that from certain parking space, where shops
were come up, few of them have been removed, but, that will not serve the
purpose, because the parking space should remain open and the sealed shop will
not serve the purpose of parking. Steps be taken to restore parking space.

Learned counsel for the RRDA assures the Court that appropriate
steps in this regard will be taken.

The matter will come up for compliance report on Tuesday (29th
March, 2011).
