JUDGMENT Hon'ble Dilip Gupta, J. The grievance of the petitioners is that certain village pond land on Gata Nos. 346Gha and 347Ga of Village & Post Saifani, Tehsil and Police Station Shahabad, District Rampur is being encroached upon by the fifth and sixth respondents. 2. Having regard to the judgement of the Supreme Court in Jagpal Singh and others vs. State of Punjab and others, reported in AIR 2011 SC 1123 , an earlier public interest litigation was disposed of by a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Prem Singh vs. The State of U.P. and others, reported in 2012 (11) ADJ 404 . 3. In consequence, we direct that the petitioners would be at liberty to approach the concerned respondent with a certified copy of this order so that an appropriate inquiry can be initiated and required action be taken in accordance with law to protect the public pond in accordance with law laid down by the Supreme Court. We expect that this exercise should be completed expeditiously. Petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
