The prayer in the writ petition is for adequate and effective police protection to the life of the petitioner in attending the meeting on 23.11.2009 under the auspices of the 3rd respondent for formation of Vela Committee at the Sree Manappully Bhagavathy Temple premises. 2. This Court passed an interim order to afford protection for the attendance of the petitioner in the matter of the meeting of the festival committee. It is submitted that the meeting took place. However, the case of the petitioner is that the order of this Court is violated since the petitioner was not permitted to attend the meeting. 3. A counter affidavit has been filed by the 2nd respondent. A reply affidavit is also filed. We feel that, in view of the fact that nothing survives in this writ petition and that if the order has been WPC No.33504/2009 -2- violated by the authorities, it is for the petitioner to invoke this Court's jurisdiction by taking appropriate steps. Without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to move this Court for disobedience of the order of the Court this writ petition is closed. (K.M.JOSEPH) JUDGE. (M.L.JOSEPH FRANCIS) JUDGE. MS
