The dispute is between two sections of the same community, over conducting the festival in the temples. This year, the festival is over. Thanks to the intervention of the revenue officials.

It is underscored that sometime the petitioner and the private respondents need to approach the civil Court to resolve their dispute, as neither the revenue officials nor the Courts can be over-burdened, if they do not know how to 2/4

worship the Deity peacefully. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
