Mr. A. S. C. Bose, learned Standing Counsel for Municipal Corporation, submits that the encroachment over the area has been removed and an effort is made to relocate the street vendors upon vacant land adjoining Central Park, opposite Women’s College.

Said writ petition is pending adjudication. 3. The conceded position is that, as of now, encroachment on the jail road has been removed; therefore, this writ petition is indeed rendered infructuous. Therefore, without commenting upon subsequent litigation as has been initiated by petitioner, proceedings in present writ petition are closed. 4. Writ Petition (PIL) is accordingly disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed.
