CORAM: HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN

For the Resp.-State : Mr. Piyush Chitresh, A.C. to AG For the UOI : Mr. Prashant Pallav, ASGI

05/05.02.2026 Sri Krishna Kant, Assistant Divisional

Engineer (Settlement)/Hatia, South Eastern Railway,

Ranchi has filed an affidavit before us.

2. On Perusing Paras 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and considering

the submissions of Mr. Prashant Pallav, learned ASGI, we

are satisfied that the railways are eager for construction

of the Pakka Road from Masrijara to Heslabeda.

3. However, Mr. Prashant Pallav pointed out that

before the railways grant the necessary no objection

certificate, a joint inspection along with the Block

Development Officer, Angada, Ranchi, is necessary. He

referred to the averments in paragraphs 4 to 8 of the

affidavit and submitted that the Block Development

Officer, despite intimation followed by reminders, has not

yet held the joint inspection due to which the railways

could not issue the no-objection certificate.

4. Mr. Piyush Chitresh, learned A.C. to A.G. states

that the joint inspection will be carried out within a

maximum 10 days from today. We record this statement

and direct the concerned B.D.O. and the Railway

Authorities to complete this joint inspection within 10

days from today. Further, the railway should also process

the issue of No Objection Certificate so that the State

Authorities will carry out the necessary construction of

the pucca Road from Masrijara to Heslabeda. The record

discloses that there is already a Kachcha Road at the site

and the issue is only about converting it into a Pucca

Road. We expect this process to be completed at the

earliest and in any case, before the onset of monsoons.

5. List this matter on 26.02.2026 high on board.
