Sri Bhati learned counsel submitted that now the association has shifted its off ice from Dainadubi to Dobu which is more than 100 meters away from the National Highway. If that be so, there should not be any reason for interfering with the voluntary collection of the members fee. The petitioners’ Association is further directed to furnish list of members with identity cards to the concerned authorities as per previous order of this Court as well as the order of the Deputy Commissioner dated 8.11.08, if not already s ubmitted.

With the aforesaid observation, this writ petition stands disposed of.
