ORDER
The prayer in the writ petition pertains to conduct of the petition mentioned car festival.
2.The case of the writ petitioner is that on his patta land, the temple car should not be allowed to enter. According to him, he had already raised crops and that he would suffer financial loss, if the temple car is taken through his patta land. In this regard, a peace committee meeting is said to have been convened and a decision was also taken. The petitioner wants enforcement of the said decision. I have held in a quite few cases that any decision taken in 2/4
peace committee meeting lacks statutory backing or force. Therefore, the question of issuing any direction in this writ petition does not arise at all. 3.Leaving open the rights of the writ petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
