Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has made several complaints against respondent No. 5, who has been creating obstruction by keeping various materials 3 and other articles on the road, thereby causing considerable inconvenience and hardship to the residents of the locality. It is further submitted that, despite the complaints made by the petitioner, no effective action has been taken by the concerned respondent authorities till date. Although notices are stated to have been issued to the concerned person, no consequential action has been taken pursuant thereto. 3. Per contra, learned counsel appearing for the Municipal Corporation opposes the prayer made by the petitioner. 4. Having heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and having perused the material available on record, this Court has considered the submissions advanced by the parties. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the grievance raised by the petitioner regarding encroachments and obstruction caused on the public road, the Municipal Corporation, District Raipur, is directed to take appropriate steps for removal of all unauthorized encroachments and obstructions made or placed upon the road in accordance with law. The Municipal Corporation shall also take necessary action against temporary encroachments being made on public roads, as such encroachments are causing inconvenience to the general public and obstructing the free use of the roads. It is further observed that mere issuance of notices would not serve the purpose unless appropriate consequential action is taken in accordance with law. 4 Accordingly, the Municipal Corporation, District Raipur, is directed to act upon the notices already issued to the concerned persons and to take necessary action in accordance with law within a reasonable period. 6. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed anything on the merits of the case. 7. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is disposed of.
