In view of the resolution of Panchayat dated 26.09.2019 referred to above, the issue of charging special rent for the mela period, no longer remains recurring. The interim order passed by the learned Single Judge thus would have a localized effect. The interim order has already operated itself out for the previous mela season. In that view of the matter, we are not inclined to interfere with this interim order. We emphasize that by virtue of a resolution dated 26.09.2019, now the Panchayat has also adopted a formula of charging higher lease rent uniformly for the entire year instead of demanding rise for one month when mela would be organized. On account of this decision and the statement made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that they are paying higher lease rent as per the resolution of the Panchayat, the question of continuation or vacation of interim relief becomes redundant. It is clarified that while disposal of the writ petition, the challenge of the petitioners shall be examined on all factual and legal aspects unmindful of the observations made in this order. We have not expressed any opinion on the authority of the Panchayat to charge higher rent for a particular month of the lease period in terms of Rule 164 of the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996.
