. The Petitioners are devotees of Shri Santoshi Mata Mandir and they are aggrieved by the action taken by the Respondents to shift Mandir of Shri Santoshi Mata to some other place. Since the Petitioners are aggrieved by the action of the Respondents, they have locus and therefore, this petition cannot be termed as PIL. This PIL, therefore, is converted into writ petition. Office is directed to renumber this PIL as writ petition and place it before the appropriate Bench.
