The Court disposed of a Writ Petition filed to fix a date for the Hundial opening to account for temple offerings. The Court noted the Second Respondent had already fixed the date via proceedings No. 3934/2019/B2, rendering the petition superfluous.
The Writ Petition was disposed as the matter was already resolved by the Respondents.
