3. The learned Special Government Pleader submitted that there is no impediment for offering worship as such. I am not in a position to issue any direction because the petitioners have come literally at the last minute. 04.02.2023 and 05.02.2023 are holidays and it is not proper for this Court to issue any direction against the private respondents behind their back.

4. Recording the submission of the official respondents that all persons will be allowed to offer their worship, this writ petition stands disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
