ORDER

Agha Faisal, J.         This petition, pending since 2016, inter alia seeks removal of alleged encroachment upon forest land by private respondents,not impleaded herein, and protection from harassment. The prayer/s in respect of harassment cannot be entertained in view of PLD 2019 Sindh 168. In so far as the vague prayer/s with respect to forest land is concerned, the respondents in their comments have duly denied any negligence and/or collusion and have stated that any encroachment upon forest land is being duly dealt with in accordance with the law and the particulars of such action have also been placed on record.  The comments of the impleaded officers are also on record and it is stated therein that any encroachment found upon the government property is being duly pursued / prosecuted in accordance with law.In view hereof we see no reason to perpetuate this petition any longer as the specific (respondent specified) instances of encroachment are demonstrably being dealt with as required under the law, however, if there is any subsequent instance of misfeasance or malfeasancein such regard the same may be agitated in appropriate proceedings. With these observations, this petition is disposed of.
