In respect of the upgradation of sewerage management systems in the ­trans-Yamuna area of Delhi and Sectors 14, 14-A, 15, 15-A, 16, 16-A and 17 of NOIDA this writ petition was filed in this Court. By Order dated 6 January, 1998 this Court constituted a Committee of five per­sons headed by Shri P.K. Kaul, former Cabinet Secretary as its Chair­man to examine all the issues in detail and to submit a report.

2. The Committee submitted its interim report on 5th March, 1998. In October 1998 the said Committee has submitted its final report relat­ing to status and options for upgradation of the sewerage management systems in the aforesaid area.

3. Copies of the said report were given to the learned counsel for the parties and no objection to the same has been received.

4. We have gone through the report and, in our opinion, it merits acceptance. Apart from indicating the status of the system as of today, the said report at pages 40-44 gives the action plan for the works which are required to be undertaken and the organisations respon­sible for undertaking each work. At page 44 the Committee has drawn up a time frame with regard to the various activities mentioned in the action plan.
