¶33

The plaint also alleges that without any decision being taken by the office bearers of the Samaj, second defendant without any authority had demolished the temple and also removed the statue of Baba worshiped in the Temple with an intention to sell the same, and has also been pressurizing the other members of the committee to install a new statue, which has also been objected to by the office bearers.

¶34

I have perused the plaint and the documents filed in support of the plaint. Plaint discloses that as early as in the year 2001 a suit under section 92 was initiated seeking to frame a scheme. The said suit is still pending. It also further discloses that the Hon'ble Apex Court as early as in the year 2019 had directed disposal of the Suit by this Court. A memo had been filed by the learned counsel for the plaintiffs therein indicating that various defendants had passed away and that the plaintiffs are giving up their claim as against defendants 9 to 13. No amendments by way of impleading the necessary parties have also been effected by the plaintiffs therein. The petitioner before the Hon'ble Apex Court had been now elected as the secretary of the Samaj. Serious allegations have been made against him. The Samaj has been carrying out public and religious charitable works.
