✅ SUMMARY (Very Short & Clear)

The petitioner sought removal of illegal encroachments under Bacha Khan Flyover (Banaras Bridge), alleging that Qabza Mafia and some officials allowed unlawful shops, markets, and walls.
The Court held that such matters fall within the jurisdiction of the Anti-Encroachment Tribunal under the Sindh Public Property (Removal of Encroachment) Act, 2010, not under Article 199.
Because an efficacious statutory remedy exists, the High Court refused to exercise writ jurisdiction.
The petition was disposed of, allowing the petitioner to approach the proper forum.
