JUSTICE SOUMITRA SAIKIA ORDER 07.01.2026 Heard Mr. M Bhagawati, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. N Goswami, learned State Counsel, Assam, for the respondent nos. 1 to 6 and 9. The grievance of the petitioners is that Deputy Commissioner, Kamrup and Page No.# 2/2 the other State Authorities had interfered with the functioning of the Managing Committee of the Agyathuri Sri Sri Ganesh Mandir because of which the petitioners have approached this Court. Pursuant to the order dated 18.02.2019 passed by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, the authorities were restrained from interfering with the functioning of the Committee. However, during the pendency of the writ petition, the term of the earlier Committee expired and a fresh Committee has now being constituted and the same is supervising and managing the affairs of the said temple. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that as on date no further interference is caused by the State Authorities. Considering the above submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and in view of the fact that the Committee earlier constituted has been replaced by a new Committee comprising of the local residents, and no interference as on date has been caused by the State Authorities, no further cause is seen to be alive in the present writ petition. Accordingly, the present writ petition stands disposed of as infructuous. Interim order, if any, stands merged. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
