It is a Bhakthajana Samithy. Ext.P4 is issued by the Board permitting it to function, as a special case. We are not prepared to go into any of the allegations because, as regards the constitution of the Temple Advisory Committee under the different Temple of TDB, the Board stands directed by separate judgment, to frame necessary rules after following the requirement of prior publication. That direction is issued for time bound compliance. After that the board has necessarily to look into the Temple Advisory Committees in relation to different W.P.(C)No. 256 of 2011 2 Temples. Until then, even as per the directions already issued, the present committee will continue in office unless of course, the Board concludes that its continuance will be determinal of the Temple and the devotees. In this state of affairs we preserve the petitioners' rights to raise any complaint in accordance with law and dismiss the writ petition without prejudice to that.
