The other prayer sought for by the petitioner- Sangh is to direct the State Government to grant financial aid to the petitioner- Sangh to perforrTi "Sarhul Puja' for the years to come. In our opinlon, for the above prayer the petitioner at the first instance should go before the State Government and seek financiai aid by making appropriate representation and if for any reason that representation of the pstrtioner - Sangh is not oonsldersd positiveiy by the respondents, then only a cause of action wouid arise to approach this Court. in that view of the matter, we decline to grant the second prayer sought for by the petitioner - Sang'n. However, liberty is reseri/eci to the petitioner - Sangh to go before the State Government to seek appropriate reiiefs by fiting appropriate represenfations. It is needtess to state that if and when such representations are made, the respondent No. 1/State would consider the same in accordance with law. Ordered accordingly.
