4.In the considered opinion of this Court, as on today, nothing survives for adjudication in this writ petition since the date on which permission is sought to conduct the culture programme is already over and therefore, it would be suffice to permit the petitioner to submit one more representation to the respondent praying for appropriate permission to conduct cultural dance programme in connection with the temple festival well in advance and the respondent, on receipt of the said representation, is directed to consider the same in accordance with law and pass orders within a period of one week thereafter and inform the decision taken to the petitioner.

The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. Sd/- Vacation Officer //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar gpa/gm To The Inspector of Police, Bavani Police Station, Erode District.
