2. Heard both sides.
3. Whether there has been misappropriation of funds by one or other persons, is a matter for the higher authorities to consider, if any complaint has been lodged in that regard. We do not find any justification to entertain this writ petition in public interest on this issue, as it is for the appropriate authority concerned to take action as per law, if the complaint establishes a case of illegality or misappropriation of funds. Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is dismissed. No costs.
