O R D E R

The learned Special Government Pleader, appearing on behalf of the Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments Department made a submission that during the pendency of the writ petition, the third respondent temple had been handed over to the Trustees. Now, the Trustees are administering the temple and therefore, the Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments Department has no role to play in respect of the administration of the temple.

2. This being the development occurred during the pendency of the writ petition, the cause set out in the present writ petition deserves no further adjudication.

3. Accordingly, the writ petition stands closed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
