1. These are applications which arise out of an order of the District Magistrate of Trichinopoly staying the order of the Sub-Magistrate of Turaiyur in M.C. No. 12 of 1936-pending the orders of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Musiri, to whom the District Magistrate forwarded an application by one of the parties in M.C. No. 12 of 1936 under Section 144(4), Criminal Procedure Code. The Sub-Magistrate passed an order on the application of the present petitioner prohibiting the counter-petitioners from interference with the performance of a certain festival by the petitioner. Some of the counter-petitioners applied to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Musiri under Section 144(4), Criminal Procedure Code, for rescinding the order, and thereupon the Sub-Divisional Magistrate after calling for the records passed an order confirming it except as regards counter-petitioners 1 to 6 in respect of whom the order was set aside apparently because they gave an undertaking before the Sub-Divisional Magistrate that they would not interfere with the conduct of the festival. It may be mentioned in this connection that these counter-petitioners 1 to 6 were not the petitioners before
