Salkar, Advocate for Respondent No.9. Coram:- N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 30th October, 2007 P.C.: Heard learned Counsel on behalf of the parties. Applicants herein claim to be the duly elected committee of Shree Devi Bhumika Devasthan Temple, Chopdem at the elections held on 11/02/2007. They also claim that as a duly elected managing committee, the Mamlatdar has administered oath to them to run the affairs of the said temple. It appears that the Respondents no. 1 to 4 ([plaintiffs) had also sought their impleadment in Civil Suit No. 28 of 2007. Considering the very claim made by the Applicants that they represent the duly elected committee of the said temple, they deserve to be granted leave to appeal against the impugned order which to some extent comes in the way of their functioning as a duly elected committee. Hence, leave to prefer the appeal granted. Appeal be registered. N. A. BRITTO, J. NH
