Page No.# 15/16 Considering the subject matter involved and as agreed to by the learned counsel for the parties, the present writ petition is being disposed of at admission stage. The case of the petitioners, as projected is that they were Haj pilgrims during Haj 2023. In 2023 a tender was called for chartered flight and after finalizing the tender, the Haj pilgrims of Assam were selected and were asked to deposit Rs. 3,82,297/- each for the expenditure including the air fare of the chartered flight. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that out of Rs. 3,82,297/-, Rs. 1,54,694/- was collected as air fare of the chartered flight from Guwahati to Jeddah. However, during the boarding at Guwahati, the petitioners were asked to take normal passenger flight instead of international chartered flight. It is the case of the petitioners that though the Haj Committee of India had cancelled the chartered flight from Guwahati but the excess amount which was deposited by the pilgrims for the chartered flight have not been refunded. The petitioners accordingly submitted representation dated 10.06.2024 to the Chief Executive Officer, Haj Committee of India with a copy to Executive Officer, State Joint Haj Committee, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland etc. seeking for the refund of the excess amount which was collected from Haj pilgrims but the Haj Committee as of date has not disposed the said representation nor refunded the amount to the petitioners. Being aggrieved, the present petition has been filed with the limited prayer to direct the Haj Committee of India to dispose the representation submitted by the petitioners in accordance with Section 42 of the Haj Committee Act, 2002. The learned counsel for the parties have jointly submitted that the present writ petition can be disposed of with the direction to the Haj Committee of India to dispose of the representation in accordance with Section 42 of the Haj Page No.# 16/16 Committee Act, 2002. In the light of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent no. 2 to dispose the representation submitted by the petitioners according to the provisions contain in Section 42 of the Haj Committee Act, 2002 by speaking order and after hearing the petitioners. The aforesaid exercise be undertaken and completed within a period 90(ninety) days from the day of passing of this order. Writ petition accordingly stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
