Though at the initial stage the petitioner had moved the Court against the order dated 08.09.2013, which was with regard to forming of a Committee to run the Baba Mahendra Nath Mandir in the district of Siwan, but subsequently the Board having appointed another Committee, the same was also sought to be challenged by filing of Interlocutory Application No. 1994 of 2017.
