Executive Officer in his notice dated 19.4.2022 informed the petitioners to remove the illegal compound constructed by them by including electric pole.

The authorities will take separate steps to remove the encroachment on the public road. Wherefore the second respondent prays that this Honourable Court may be pleased to dismiss this Writ Petition as infructuous.” 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the writ petition may be disposed of in terms of said memo. - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:8817 WP No. 9008 of 2022 3.
