JUDGMENT
[ WP(C) 13937/2019 ,WP(C).13962/2019 & 14024/2019]
These writ petitions are materially connected in
respect of permission sought for by the petitioners to
conduct fire works in temple festivals. Interim orders were passed in these cases permitting the petitioners
to carry out fire works in a limited manner subject to
certain conditions. I am informed that fire works are already over and nothing remains to be considered any further in these writ petitions.
Accordingly, these writ petitions are disposed of, in terms of the interim orders granted by this Court.
