For the petitioner : Mr. H.K. Das, S.C., Gauhati High Court Mr. N.K. Sarma, Advocate For the respondents : Mr. D. Nath, Sr. Govt. Advocate, Assam Ms. N. Bordoloi, S.C., Revenue – B E F O R E – HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. VIJAY BISHNOI HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUMAN SHYAM 08-08-2024 (Vijay Bishnoi, C.J.)

¶1This PIL petition is essentially filed by the petitioner seeking a direction to the respondent Nos.3, 4, 5 and 6 to take immediate effective steps to evict the encroachers from the land of the Gauhati High Court situated at Malibagan, Kharghuli (Guwahati) so as to facilitate construction of the proposed boundary Page No.# 4/4 wall and the staff quarters (multistoried building) for the Stenographers and Grade-III and Grade-IV staff of the Gauhati High Court.

¶2During the pendency of this PIL petition, the encroachers from the aforementioned land have already been evicted and the staff quarters have also been constructed pursuant to the directions given by this Court. However, for a long time, the boundary wall could not be constructed due to some obstructions raised by certain individuals and the road connecting the land also could not be constructed.

¶3It appears that pursuant to the directions given by this Court, particularly, in the year 2024, the road has been constructed. Today, Mr. D. Nath, learned Senior Government Advocate has submitted the factual report wherein it is mentioned that the boundary wall of the land in question has also been constructed.

¶4Mr. H.K. Das, learned counsel for the petitioner frankly admits that substantial compliance of the directions given by this Court has already been made by the respondents.

¶5In such circumstances, the purpose of filing this PIL petition is fructified and hence, no further order is required to be passed. Accordingly, this PIL is disposed of.
