'With reference to the above cited subject and letter number, I am to report that as per instruction of Sub-Collector, Padampur vide letter No-488, Dt- 27.01.2023, I have submitted enquiry report vide Memo No-99/PS.

(emphasis supplied) It appears from the memo that Collector and District Magistrate, Bargarh had obtained instructions to not grant any permission to hold Sammilani/religious congregation by petitioner claiming as done by office bearer of Neelachala Saraswat Sangha, Puri. It is clear, in compliance with conveyance of such instructions, the IIC requested that enquiry/feasibility report, submitted by said memo dated 28th January, 2023, may kindly be treated as cancelled. 8. Said memo dated 28th January, 2023 is a enquiry/feasibility report. It can be cancelled but on reasons for it. A good reason would have been a duly authorized and empowered office as had conducted a subsequent enquiry/feasibility study to find that the enquiry/feasibility report submitted by the police was incorrect. That is not the case here. The police, it appears, having inquired and submitted the report, cancelled it on conveyance of instructions, had by offices of the Collector and District Magistrate (judicial section), Bargarh. Basis for the instruction appears to be objection to Utkal claiming to be office bearers of Neelachala Saraswat Sangha, Puri. Such is not basis that can be sustained in judicial review, invoked by petitioner. More so, because in aforesaid memo dated 28th January, 2023, the police had not said anything with regard to identity of the organization. 9.
