Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2/ 22.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the respondents. The petitioners submit that they are associated with different Orchestras, which is their only source of livelihood. They state that any ban on their functioning would hit them economically. Counsel for the State submits that the ban was for the year 2010, for a particular function, and we are towards the end of year 2011. It appears that the petitioners have already filed 2 representation before the Collector, Gopalganj (Annexure-11). The petitioners may pursue their remedy before the Collector of the district, who will look into their grievances. Let the order be communicated to learned Collector, Gopalganj, through FAX at the cost of the petitioners. This application stands disposed of. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
