1. Though this matter has been rendered infructuous in view of the fact that the impugned order has since lost its force, this Court only notes that the contents of the same are improper, inasmuch as, apart from being vague no details are given as under what circumstances the respondent No. 5, has been directed to conduct the meeting.

2. Be that as it may, as the date given therein has since lapsed, this matter is closed on being infructuous. JUDGE Meghalaya 04.06.2026 “V. Lyndem-PS/AR”
