However, nothing is fructified so far and the encroachment is not removed.
4. Since the encroachment has already been identified and notices have also been issued to the private respondents, let the authorities remove the encroachments forthwith with police protection. The 4th respondent/Inspector of Police is directed to provide necessary police protection to the 2nd respondent for removing the encroachments. Such an exercise shall be completed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
5. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.
