3. Mr.M.Maharaja, learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the HR & CE Department, submitted that the festival was conducted peacefully and all the parties including the petitioners have participated therein.

4. Mr.V.Srikanth, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that he is not aware of the participation of the petitioners.
