Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. 3. Petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs: “(i) For issuance of writ of Mandamus, commanding the respondents concerned to complete the B.P.Mandal Bridge at Dumri in Khagaria district at the earliest, as the bridge remains incomplete even much after the prescribed period of completion, causing great hardship to the commuters. (ii) For directing the respondent no. 3 to institute a vigilance case against the respondent no. 12, the contractor in-charge of completing the bridge for misappropriating and sale of the salvage material obtained upon the dismantling the bridge.

After the matter was heard for some time, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner shall be content if a direction is issued to the concerned respondents to consider and decide the representation, which the petitioner shall be making afresh within a period of four weeks from today. 5.
