ORDER

(Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) Heard. Having perused the material on record and the affidavit now filed by petitioner, at this stage, any interference by this Court is not called for.

2. The pictorial representation, as reflected from the photographs, which have been filed by both the parties, show that in place of old building, new building has come up.
