ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble Chief Justice) The grievance of the petitioner is that while re-laying the road, the level of the road is being raised by not following the proper procedure for removal of the earlier surface and then re-laying the road. Her apprehension is that even the Corporation would suffer financial loss in this behalf as the Contractor may charge for re-laying of the road, but is carrying only half of the task.

2. The petitioner and the local residents' association have made representations on 11.01.2016 and 13.12.2015 respectively, but there has been no response.

3. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, we consider it appropriate to direct the third respondent to look into the matter and give a reasoned response to the representation of the petitioner within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of the order.

4. The writ petition, accordingly, stands disposed of. No costs.
