JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI Vide memo No. 12-1954, dated 4.9.1992 while exercising power under the Bihar Hindu Religious Trust Act, 1950 an adhoc committee came to be constituted and a scheme was formulated by the respondents. The matter related to the Kabir Panthi Math located at Village Garhi Mohanpur, Police Station – Patauri, in the district of Samastipur. 2. When the writ application was filed a Division Bench - 2 - of this Court ordered for maintaining status quo on 3.2.1993. The interim order was continued when the matter was admitted. 3. Much time has passed in the meanwhile and even the law has undergone certain changes. In that view of the matter this Court is of the opinion that annexure-3 ought to be interfered with and the matter deserves to be remanded back to the competent authority for a fresh decision after proper appraisal of the current status of the Math and its working. Annexure-3 therefore stands quashed. 4. The writ application is allowed but liberty is granted to the respondent Administrator of the Trust Board that he shall get the matter examined with regard to the affairs of the trust and if necessary, power may be exercised after giving opportunity to the petitioner in this regard.
